2006 PREVIEWS

B&B Executive Producer/Head Writer BRADLEY BELL feels like he now
has all the characters in place for where he wants them to be in
2006.
Big changes are about to happen on the romantic side for Brooke,
Ridge, Taylor and Bridget.
When something significant happens between Taylor and Hector, Ridge
reaches his breaking point, and his marriage to Taylor could be in
jeopardy.
With the problems in Ridge's marriage, and with Nick committed to
Bridget, will Brooke find herself vulnerable to returning to Ridge?
Even though Bridget has agreed to raise Dominick as her own, she
will be relying on Dante heavily, and she will also be vulnerable to
him.
A new twist will drop yet another bomb on the question of just who
owns Forrester Creations.
When Eric and Stephanie grow close over Felicia's illness, where
does that leave Jackie? Jackie hesitates starting a life with Eric
because of the bond he and Stephanie have shared.
Dante is about to see some action in his life as women enter his
life.

FEBRUARY PREVIEWS

Brooke has put aside her feelings for Nick for Bridget's sake, but
a larger worry might overshadow any fears Bridget has of losing her
husband. Can she survive the kind of pain no mother should ever have
to endure? And how will that twist of fate impact her marriage.
After Dante recalls a night of passion with Felicia when they first
met in Europe, he wonders if he could be the father of her baby and
demands a paternity test. Dante then makes a request of Bridget that
she would not have considered in the past, leading Bridget to give
Nick and Brooke some shocking news.
Ridge is determined to win Brooke back, but this is no longer the
Brooke who would do anything to be with him. Brooke soon finds
herself torn between two men, and in choosing where her heart lies,
she must decide which man's heart she will shatter in the process.
In the wake of the end of her marriage, Taylor makes some
destructive choices. Can Hector come to her rescue? And can his live
and support get her past not only depression, but a bad habit that
could put her and others at risk?

THE 33RD ANNUAL DAYTIME EMMY AWARDS

Emmy Pre-Screening Nominations Announced

COMPLETE EMMY COVERAGE

It's daytime television's biggest night. Soap Opera Central has all
the Emmy angles covered. Select an option from below to link to more
information.

The pool from which this year's Daytime Emmy nominees will be drawn
has gotten a little bit smaller. The National Academy of Television
Arts and Sciences (NATAS) has released this year's list of pre-
screen nominees in the performance categories of Daytime Dramas for
the 33rd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards.

Briefly, each soap holds its own mini-Emmy ceremony in which the
cast and crew cast their votes for the top performers in the six
acting categories -- Lead Actor, Lead Actress, Supporting Actor,
Supporting Actress, Younger Actor and Younger Actress. The top two
vote-getters in each category are the two nominees that the show
puts forward into the pool from which the final Emmy nominees will
be drawn.

The pre-screening process was put into effect three years ago as a
response to growing criticism that shows with larger casts were
unfairly seizing control of the nomination process. For more
information on the reasons behind the pre-nominations, please click
here.

Nominees in the performance categories will be pre-screened along
with the other Daytime categories at the pre-screen judging on
January 21st and 22nd, 2006. The pre-screening will be conducted in
both Los Angeles and New York. The nominees for the year's Daytime
Emmys will be announced on February 8th, 2006. This year's ceremony
will be broadcast live on ABC on Friday, April 28, 2006, from the
Kodak Theater in Hollywood, California.

News and Events:

Straight Shooter

As he sat down with his cup of tea and bear claw, Jerry Douglas
(John) took some time to shoot the breeze on his current storyline.

You've had an action packed storyline lately. What was your reaction
when you found out John would shoot Tom?
JERRY: I was very surprised but I can believe he shot him because
[Co-Executive Producer/Co-Head Writer] Jack [Smith] has had a much
more interesting edge to John Abbott in the last three years than
ever before. I think [Y&R Creator] Bill [Bell] saw my character a
lot in his own making  and not that it wasn't great stuff over the
years  but it was very conservative. And I also recently belted
Roscoe's [Born (Tom)] character.

Was that fun?
JERRY: Oh yeah. My kids asked me, 'Can you punch good?' And I
said, 'Yeah, I used to box.'

Do you think John should allow Ashley to take the blame for the
shooting?
JERRY: I can't imagine he would. The show has always dealt with
principle on a very high level. Even though John acted to protect
his family, he did bring a gun. Even though he did it to protect
himself, it did lead to a shooting and he's responsible for it. I
think John will be punished. This is a clean cut shot where he just
shoots him. We could do some great scenes from jail. And it would be
interesting to see John come back with an edge to him.

Is it difficult to act out the heart attack scenes?
JERRY: That's hard for me. That's very tough because I keep myself
in great shape, but it's workable because you could have a guy
that's in great shape who happens to have a weak heart. What's more
difficult is the flashbacks  the pieces of my memory coming back.
You're flashing back to different scenes and you have to think about
what you're reacting to.

How do you feel about John frequently ending up in the hospital?
JERRY: I like hospital scenes. When John had the big outburst
because of Kevin and fell down the stairs -- those kinds of scenes
can be very fun to do.

Do you ever tease the writers about their treatment of John lately?
JERRY: I just say, 'Boy, I'm in good shape for a guy that's always
falling down [laughs].' That's kind of fun. I remember I had to do a
scene after he gets out of the hospital with a broken hip and he
gets seduced by Gloria and we had to take our clothes off to some
degree, and I said, 'He sure has a lot of energy for a guy who's
always injured![laughs].'

The addition of Gloria has really thrust John into the center of a
lot of storyline. Are you enjoying working with Judith Chapman?
JERRY: Judith is the best girl I've had in a long time. She's such a
combo of strength and vulnerability. And besides, Judith happens to
be a terrific actress.

Speaking of wives, in honor of Valentine's Day, do you have a
favorite romantic memory with your wife Kym?
JERRY: The most fun was our honeymoon 21 years ago this April. We
went to Bermuda and it was when I was on the screen all the time. It
was the beginning of the Abbotts and they were the only power
family  now there's the Newmans and the Abbotts  and I was working
all the time. I got a nice break and we went for five days. When we
got there it was like I was the biggest movie star that ever lived
because everybody on that island that works there loves The Young
and the Restless and they watched it every night at 8. So, the
concierge gave us a private beach so that we were able to be alone
and nobody would know me. We put on little disguises, took a cab,
got on the beach and got a blanket out; We jumped in the water and
then she was laying down and I went to kiss her. As I leaned down to
kiss her, I saw three photographers in the bushes. Then I looked up
and saw more faces, so that was the most romantic memory because it
was just so funny.

RESTLESS VET EXITS

Scoop! The Young and the Restless cast and crew gathered on the set
this week to share a farewell cake for soap vet Jerry Douglas.
TVGuide.com has learned that Douglas, 73  who has played Jabot
Cosmetics tycoon John Abbott since 1982  was let go due to a story-
line-dictated twist.
Spoiler alert! As viewers know, John shot the vile Tom Fisher
(Roscoe Born) and refuses to allow his daughter Ashley (Eileen
Davidson) to cover for him by taking the murder rap. What will be
the Abbott patriarch's reward for ridding Genoa City of human scum?
A seven-year prison sentence. Although it's sad to see this beloved
pro go, Douglas has been woefully underused for years. At least Y&R
is sending him and his classy character out with a bang!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------
BOLD BEAUTY OUT

Although Bold and the Beautiful honcho Brad Bell has admitted to
feeling tempted to keep Lesli Kay on the canvas, the CBS sudser will
kill off the dying Felicia Forrester as planned. Bummer!
"Isn't she marvelous?" Susan Flannery (Stephanie) asks
TVGuide.com. "I'm sad to lose her, too, but it's such a powerful
story."
Despite Kay's popularity, her TV mom thinks it'd be a mistake to
reverse Felicia's terminal cancer diagnosis just to keep her
around. "Doesn't that kind of burn the audience?" Flannery says. "We
have to go down this path and pay off the story in the right way."
Word is, Felicia's unfortunate demise will give rise to a Bold new
saga: a tussle over her baby son, Dominick. Look for Italian
stallion Dante (Antonio Sabato Jr.) to start asking, "Who's your
real daddy?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------
KRISTOFF STAYS RESTLESS

Scoop! Although Kristoff St. John's contract negotiations got
unusually close to the wire, the Young and the Restless star  who
has played Neil Winters since 1991  tells TVGuide.com he is
now "committed to three more years in Genoa City."
As viewers saw last week, Yolanda (Chene Lawson) abruptly skipped
town after Neil rebuffed her seduction attempt. (Basically, the
recovering crackhead dropped her towel, and the very married Mr.
Winters insisted she put it back on and check herself!) For his
part, St. John feels relieved that Y&R's writers changed their minds
about playing out an infidelity scenario. "It would have been very
disrespectful for Neil to step out on Dru with their foster son's
mother," he says. "Neil has too much dignity and integrity for
that."
That said, it sounds like Y&R has something much juicier planned for
the Denzel of daytime. "There's some major, family-related trouble
coming up for Neil and Dru," St. John teases. "We're trying to bring
back Malcolm, but with Shemar Moore doing so well on Criminal Minds,
I don't think we'll be able to get him. If we have to, we will do
the story without him. But this is some major stuff  and I don't
know if all's well that ends well for Neil and Dru's marriage."

Y&R'S ERIC BRAEDEN WANTS REVENGE!

Those who read Eric Braeden's candid interview last Friday know how
passionate he is about his role as Victor Newman on The Young and
the Restless. As hinted last week, the soap vet also aims to get
back on the big screen. "I am planning to make a revenge picture,"
Braeden reveals exclusively to TVGuide.com. "I will produce and act
in it as well. When that becomes a reality, meaning when the money
is there to bankroll it, I will gladly talk to you again." And I'll
be glad to pass on the dish to our loyal readers!

First Look at Spoilers: Week of 02/13/2006

Bridget makes a confession to Taylor.
Bridget struggles with her feelings for Dominick.
The Forresters and Marones mourn together at baby Nicole's memorial
service.
Dante makes a startling revelation at Nicole's memorial service.
Dante fusses with Felicia and Nick over the question of baby
Dominick's paternity.
Ridge pours on the romance and gives Brooke a special valentine in
his attempt to win her back.

MORE TO COME...

FEBRUARY PREVIEWS

Brooke has put aside her feelings for Nick for Bridget's sake, but
a larger worry might overshadow any fears Bridget has of losing her
husband. Can she survive the kind of pain no mother should ever have
to endure? And how will that twist of fate impact her marriage.
After Dante recalls a night of passion with Felicia when they first
met in Europe, he wonders if he could be the father of her baby and
demands a paternity test. Dante then makes a request of Bridget that
she would not have considered in the past, leading Bridget to give
Nick and Brooke some shocking news.
Ridge is determined to win Brooke back, but this is no longer the
Brooke who would do anything to be with him. Brooke soon finds
herself torn between two men, and in choosing where her heart lies,
she must decide which man's heart she will shatter in the process.
In the wake of the end of her marriage, Taylor makes some
destructive choices. Can Hector come to her rescue? And can his live
and support get her past not only depression, but a bad habit that
could put her and others at risk?

Spoilers/Rumors for Upcoming Shows
Please Note that anything marked as "RUMOR" is unconfirmed and may
not occur

Despite recent reports that stories could be reworked to keep
Felicia around, it looks like current plans are to follow the story
to its original conclusion with her death. However, B&B Executive
Producer/Head Writer Brad Bell states that he is often tempted to
change his mind every time he watches Lesli Kay (Felicia) at work.
Is Sheila coming back? B&B executive producer/head writer Bradley
Bell tells CBS SOAPS IN DEPTH that he and Jack Smith, Y&R's
executive producer/head writer, talk all the time and have discussed
how they can make the character of Sheila work within the context of
both shows. And since Sheila recently fled Y&R and Genoa City for
now -- she was last seen showing a photo to a plastic surgeon to
change her identity -- you never know if she might show up in L.A.
again to mess with the Forresters.
Soap Opera Digest reports that there are rumors that Prince Omar
might make a return appearance on B&B.

CBS Dominates Emmy Nominations; Y&R Tops Overall, GL Tops Acting
Noms

It's daytime television's biggest night. soapcentral.com has all the
Emmy angles covered. Select an option from below to link to more
information.
Nominations for the 33rd Annual Daytime Emmys were announced live on
Wednesday, February 8th from the set of the ABC daytime talk show,
The View. If it seems like this year's nominations snuck up on you,
fret not: the nominations were announced about a month earlier than
usual. It's all part of a year of radical changes for the awards
telecast.
This was a year in which the CBS soaps -- As the World Turns, The
Bold and the Beautiful, Guiding Light and The Young and the
Restless -- dominated the Daytime Emmy Awards nominations. In four
of the six acting categories, CBS amassed four of the five total
nominations in the category. In fact, the only category in which CBS
did not lead the tally was the Outstanding Lead Actor field, where
ABC earned three of the five nominations.
In the main categories, the CBS soaps grabbed 24 total nominations.
ABC was second with 10 nominations. NBC did not receive any
nominations. The Young and the Restless was the most-nominated
program overall with 18 nominations, the show's highest nominations
tally since 2000 when it received a whopping 28 nominations. Guiding
Light was second with 14 nominations, nine of those nominations
coming from acting categories making the CBS soap the most-nominated
soap in the acting fields. As the World Turns and General Hospital
placed third with 12 nominations.
First-time nominees were easy to find on this year's ballot. Four As
the World Turns stars earned this very first nominations this year.
Grayson McCouch (Dusty Donovan), a pre-nominee in each of the past
three years, earned his first nomination in the Outstanding
Supporting Actor category. He is joined in the field by castmate
Trent Dawson (Henry Coleman). Elsewhere on the ballot, Jennifer
Landon (Gwen Norbeck), daughter of the late Michael Landon, earned
an Outstanding Younger Actress nod and Jesse Soffer (Will Munson)
earned a nomination in the Outstanding Younger Actor category. One
Life to Live's Renee Elise Goldsberry (Evangeline Williamson) earned
his first-ever nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress.
Goldsberry was her show's sole acting nomination this year. Veteran
soap opera actress Bobbie Eakes (Krystal Carey) earned her first
nomination this year for her work on All My Children. Eakes received
pre-nominations in 2003 and 2004 for her role as Macy Forrester on
CBS's The Bold and the Beautiful, but never before made the final
ballot. This year, her Outstanding Lead Actress nod, finally earns
her a place on the ballot.
Other first-timers include All My Children's Leven Rambin (Lily
Montgomery); General Hospital's Scott Clifton (Dillon Quartermaine);
Guiding Light's Gina Tognoni (Dinah Marler), Mandy Bruno (Marina
Cooper) and Jordan Clarke (Billy Lewis); and The Young and the
Restless' Bryton McClure (Devon Hamilton)
Conversely, while just about half of this year's nominees are
newcomers to the Emmy spotlight, only one of last year's winners --
Greg Rikaart (Kevin Fisher, Y&R) -- earned a return trip the Emmy
ballot and, of the 17 remaining nominees, only seven have previously
won Emmy statuettes.
There were some surprising oversights among the nominees. The Young
and the Restless, considered by many to be a shoo-in for Outstanding
Drama Series, was shut out of the Outstanding Lead Actor and Actress
categories. It had widely been expected that Joshua Morrow (Nicholas
Newman) and Sharon Case (Sharon Newman) would receive nominations
for their work in a high-profile storyline involving the death of
their on-screen daughter, played by Camryn Grimes (Cassie Newman).
Grimes was, however, nominated for her work in the Outstanding
Younger Actress category.
Another apparent oversight was One Life to Live actress Bree
Williamson (Jessica Buchanan/Tess), who had appeared throughout most
of 2005 in a "dual" role as a young woman battling an alternate
personality. Typically, Emmy voters are big fans of actors playing
more than one role. Elsewhere, newcomer Kelli Giddish (Di Kirby)
somehow missed out on an Outstanding Younger Actress for her work on
ABC's All My Children. The actress has received high praise from
fans and from various media outlets for her work over the past year.
NBC was once again completely shut out of the so-called "major
categories," as neither Days of our Lives nor Passions received any
nominations in acting fields. Conventional wisdom has always stated
that the two NBC soap's frequent excursions into fantasy-based
storylines have hurt their Emmy chances. Last year, actress Juliet
Mills (Tabitha Lenox, Passions) was the network's only acting
nomination. Mills' nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress also
marked the first time that a Passions performer had been nominated
in one of the Lead categories. Passions did, however, pick up two
technical nominations. DAYS fared much better, earning 5 technical
nominations and a nod for Outstanding Directing Team.
In another surprise, Jordan Clarke (Billy Lewis) earned a nomination
in the Outstanding Supporting Actor category for his work on CBS's
Guiding Light even though the actor does not have a contract with
the show. Though Clarke has been with Guiding Light since 1983, he
has been a recurring player since 1999. Guiding Light, meanwhile,
was a no-show in the Directing and Writing categories, even though
the show was the most-nominated in the acting categories and am
Outstanding Drama Series contender.
As alluded to earlier in this article, 2006 marks a year of major
changes for the 33-year-old awards ceremony. With each passing year,
the ratings for the primetime awards telecast, much like those of
the soaps themselves, have dropped. The broadcast rights for the
Daytime Emmys rotate between the three major television networks
each year. But according to industry sources, NBC, which has seen
its two soaps mainly absent among the Emmy nominations in recent
years, has decided that it will no longer be part of that rotation.
That leaves the broadcast rights to alternate between CBS and ABC.
For its turn as host of the Daytime Emmys, ABC has decided to shake
things up.
ABC Daytime President Brian Frons made the decision to forgo the
usual early-morning nominations and announce the nominations later
in the day on the network's talk show, The View. The move should
have given the talk show and the entire ABC lineup more facetime.
However, with the CBS soaps earning the most nominations, Frons
appeared less than enthusiastic as he sat in the audience.
As previously reported by soapcentral.com, this year's Daytime Emmys
will take place at a new venue -- the Kodak Theater in Hollywood,
California. This marks the first time that the Emmy telecast will
take place at the venue, which is usually associated with the
Academy Awards. It also marks the first time that the Daytime Emmys
will be held outside of New York City. For the second time in four
years, the telecast will span three hours instead of the usual two.
The Creative Craft Daytime Emmy Awards, primarily for the behind-the-
scenes crew members, will be presented at bi-coastal ceremonies held
on Saturday, April 22nd, in New York at the Marquis Hotel and in Los
Angeles at the Kodak Theatre Ballroom.
The Daytime Emmys will be held Friday, April 28th and will air on
ABC at 800pm.

Beth declares her plans for Gus and Alan - but what will happen in
the end?

It's part of the nature of the business. GL Head Writer David
Kreizman talks to SOD and SID about GL's Sweeps Spoilers. Here is
what he had to say about your favorite stories from both
publications.

It's going to be a month of turning points in a lot of
relationships," teases Head Writer David Kreizman. "We're going to
see love stories of all varieties, [especially on] Valentine's Day.

Reva/Josh/Olivia/Billy "Josh was fed up with how complicated things
got with Reva," explains the writer. "In a weird way, it's a lot
less complicated with Olivia." Meanwhile, Reva has yet to reveal
that her rival is the one who pushed Josh's beloved brother off the
wagon. "It's always hanging over Olivia and Josh's heads. Part of
the reason that Reva hasn't dropped it yet is... well, then what? Is
she ready to declare to Josh, 'Okay, let's fix things' and then risk
screwing it up again? Because she's not 'fixed', and whatever drove
her to break up the marriage in the first place has not completely
gone away."

"Billy will realize that he has feelings for Reva and she's been the
one thing that he can hang on to as he's fighting for his sobriety.
She's become more than a friend to him. In the meantime, Reva has
something happen in her life that really makes her examine the
reasons that she pulled away from Josh."

Olivia/Frank/Buzz/Josh "Olivia takes a drastic step to try to really
win Josh. It takes a lot of twists and turns and ends up in a place
that we would never expect. Buzz and Frank will be a part of that."

Harley/Gus/Dinah/Mallet With Gus' return on the very near horizon,
will he come home to find Harley and Mallet much closer than they
were when he left? And where does that leave Dinah? "She starts to
get little hints of [what's brewing between Mallet and Harley], and
she tries very hard not to let it get to her," explains
Kreizman. "She's afraid and starts saying to herself, 'Here's the
first step. I start questioning Mallet, following him around a
little bit, and the next thing you know, I'm showing up on his
doorstep with a gun!'"

"Harley will have to accept that it seems like Gus is not coming
back. Mallet will be there to comfort her....Dinah is trying to turn
this new leaf, but little by little, things will start creeping in."

Jonathan/Tammy/Sandy Things may not be all roses and candy for
Springfield's most unconventional couple this Valentine's
Day. "Bigger and bigger problems will come up because even a happy
Jonathan has problems and will react to things differently than most
people."

"Sandy knows that the thing that would likely split Jonathan and
Tammy is Jonathan's violent nature and protectiveness. He hopes he
can get under Jonathan's skin enough to scare off Tammy."

Lizzie/Coop/Ava Coop learns the truth about what Lizzie has been up
to and she resorts to desperate measures to hang onto him. Ava's
feelings for Coop are getting stronger but she is not the type to
break up a relationship.

Alan Michael/Marina "Alan-Michael is expecting something that falls
through. Marina is there to take care of him. He's falling in love
with her. We're going to see why he's doing what he's doing and he's
going to step up his attempts to overtake Harley and Dinah."

Gus/Alan "The assumption is that both Alan and Gus are dead. We will
learn that the night they disappeared, a few things happened that we
didn't know about involving Alan-Michael and Beth. [Also] we will
learn how Alan and Gus got where they are. That's going to be a big
surprise."

Alan's return should leave those who betrayed him shaking in their
boots. But might he be hiding something? "There are some big secrets
about what happened between Alan and the rest of the family before
he left that are going to bite him in the end."

Jeffrey/Cassie Jeffrey has not yet admitted to Cassie that he slept
with her when she thought he was Richard. "That information is going
to fall into Josh's lap and it's going to be a big dilemma.
Ultimately, this is going to be a big breaking point in Cassie and
Jeffrey's relationship."

SOAP STARS REACT TO EMMY NODS

All of soapdom was buzzing on Wednesday when the Daytime Emmy
nominations were announced. Here's how your sudsy faves reacted to
all the big news....
First-time nominee Renee Goldsberry (Evangeline) had a mixed
reaction to being One Life to Live's lone acting anointee. "It's
bittersweet because I saw some great work on my show last year," the
supporting-actress contender told TVGuide.com. "I don't want to
single anybody out, but I can't help it: Bree [Williamson,
Jess/Tess], I thought was absolutely wonderful, [as were] John-Paul
[Lavoisier, Rex], Robin Strasser (Dorian)... I also thought that
Tari [Signor, Margaret], who was [pre]nominated in [my] category,
was really, really great. Michael Easton (John) should get a little
shout-out as well, because you're only as good as your partner."
"It was shocking that I was even nominated," said General Hospital's
class clown, Scott Clifton (Dillon). He has never won and doesn't
think his third time's a charm, either! "I had some stuff  Lindze
[Letherman, Georgie] almost dying in the hospital  and I didn't
really do anything that great with it. So this year wasn't a great
year for me, and I know I'm not winning."
Clifton is perhaps too humble, but we can't help but agree with his
prediction on the lead-actor race: "Anthony Geary [Luke] is going to
win. His [pre]-nomination tape was spectacular."
All My Children's Alexa Havens (Babe) was thrilled for her TV mom,
lead-actress contender Bobbie Eakes (Krystal). "What's so different
about Bobbie than most of the nominees is she is a comedic actress
as well as a dramatic actress," Havens said. "I think that gives her
a leg up on the others."
As the World Turns star Terri Colombino was tickled to see CBS'
nomination landslide. "I'm so happy for GL. My sister show!" she
grinned. As for ATWT's multiple acting nods, Colombino
enthused: "[Trent Dawson, Henry] is my partner in crime, so
obviously that's my first priority. But I'm so happy for Jennifer
Ferrin (Jennifer), who has put in so much this year, and Jennifer
Landon (Gwen), who's just a natural, and Jesse [Lee Soffer Will]....
Their love story makes me all excited about [our] show again!"
Young and the Restless vixen Tracey E. Bregman (Lauren) fielded
congratulatory calls all day, and made a fun one of her own as
well. "That's been the coolest thing about today," she said. "I
texted Michael Graziadei (Daniel) and woke him up around 8:15 am. He
was still in bed. I said, 'Get up! You're nominated!'
"I got so many calls from our cast, writers, and hair and makeup
people congratulating me," Bregman adds. "My first Emmy was in 1985.
For my prenomination tape [this time], I submitted the scene of
Michael's marriage proposal to Lauren. Christian LeBlanc was
adorable and so amazing in it that I never considered it my scene.
"[A bunch of my Y&R cast mates] sat and watched each other's reels
for hours one night, and Christian felt I should submit it. There
was no ego in the room. All the suggestions came from so much love
and support."
Congrats to all the nominees! For a complete list of the major
Daytime Emmy contenders, click here.

CALLING ALL SOAP VETS

A cryptic casting call recently went out for a television show about
soap grads hoping to return to daytime. "At this time, we can't
really divulge much about the project," the industry notice
said. "We are just looking for those who had contract roles on soaps
and might be interested in returning to one. [Candidates must be]
recognizable as former soap stars, not day players."
Hmm... sounds like it should be called I Wanna Be a Soap Star...
Again. My short list of personal picks for ex-daytimers who oughta
get back in the suds: Actor-turned-artist Thom Bierdz (ex-Phillip
Chancellor III, Young and the Restless), Extra correspondent Michael
Corbett (ex-David Kimball, Y&R), the feisty Roberta Weiss (Flame,
Santa Barbara) and the fabulous Victoria Wyndham (Rachel/Justine,
Another World).

This Just In

The Bold and the Beautiful Is Nominated for Rose d'Or

The Bold and the Beautiful has been selected as a nominee in the
category of Best Soap by the Preselection Jury of the Rose d'Or
Television Festival. This is the second consecutive year that B&B
has been nominated for this award. Nominations in the acting
categories will be announced at a later date.
The 46th Rose d'Or Television Festival will take place in Lucerne,
Switzerland, April 25 - 30, 2006.

d'Or for Best Soap Actress for her portrayal of Jaqueline Payne

B&B's Ridge to Brooke: just once more!
For weeks, Ridge has been trying to woo back ex-wife Brooke with
little results, so for Valentines Day, he pulls out all the stops.
However, his timing is off-Brooke returns home from an emotional
farewell with Nick, the man she desperately loves who is married to
her daughter. "She walks in her bedroom not only to find Ridge
waiting for her, but there are candles, flowers and romantic music,"
says Ronn Moss. Unfortunately, Brooke is more annoyed than touched.
He reminds her that it's V-Day and presents her with a box- but is
ain't candy. "She opens it up to find some sexy lingerie, which
irritates her even more," chuckles Moss.Next he proffers a naughty
greeting card, and this time she tries to throw Ridge out-but he
refuses to go. "He says if she didn't like that card, he hopes she
will like one of the others," explains the actor. It seems Ridge
bought every card in the store and proceeds to dump them into an
overflowing heap on her bed. That gesture seems to soften Brooke's
resolve."She seems to finally hear what he has to say," says
Moss. "For a while, he's been trying to convince her that they're
destined to be together. Yeah, he wants to go to bed with her, which
is throwing her off a little bit."Ridge then asks Brooke to make
this the most memorable Valentines Day ever by telling him that
there's a chance for them to be together. "He asks her to dance to
the music on the cd," Moss notes. "They start dancing and he reminds
her that they have so many memories of their love and life."
That's when viewers will be treated to a montage of scenes from the
couple's earlier years to the birth of their son, R.J. The song that
will be playing, "Just once more," is the real life single from
Moss's just released cd, Uncovered."Ridge is really fighting to get
just one more chance with Brooke," explains Moss. But will he get
it?

Linda Hirsh Spoilers, For the Weeks of 02/13 and 02/20

Well, one of these spoilers will raise an eyebrow. All I can say is
that Olivia sure doesn't waste anytime.
For anyone not acquainted with Linda Hirsh, she's a well known
newspaper columnist.

From Linda Hirsch ... GUIDING LIGHT: Coop doesn't want to hear
Lizzie's excuses after finally finding out that Quinn has been
funding her condo lifestyle. Olivia tells Buzz that she doesn't want
to screw up her friendship with him the same way she's screwed up
every other relationship in her life. Buzz gives Olivia permission
to never mention their making love. Frank tells Buzz he's got a
secret weapon in winning Olivia's heart: Buzz, whom he expects to
coach him on all the right moves. Harley has finally decided what
she wants to do with her life now that Gus is gone -- she wants to
come back to the force, with Mallet as her partner. Gus comes to and
sees Beth, who spins a story about how she found him and Alan and
rescued them from certain death, and now they're all stranded up
here, thanks to the storm. Alan discovers a recently dated receipt
and realizes that Beth has been out shopping -- which means her
story is a lie.
SNEAK PEEK: Reva, Josh and Billy re-live old times.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------
some billy.reva.josh details

This story line sounds increasingly interesting to me...
Reva and Billy will be involved in a car crash. There may be
drinking involved (there's at least an empty bottle involved.)
Despite his tough attitude toward Billy about working at Lewis,
getting sober, etc., Josh will still decide to cover for him and (I
think) lie to or mislead the police...
This should be some cool conscience-wrestling for Robert N. to play!

Soapnet Preview, Monday, February 13th

It looks like Olivia gets some action this week! But who is the
lucky man? Could it be Josh? Or does the temptress find herself in
the arms of another? It looks like it might be the latter as Josh
tells both Olivia and Reva to leave him alone. Why the sudden
outburst? What have these ladies done to alienate the man their
fighting over? Elsewhere, Alan-Michael surprises Ava in a most
inopportune moment. Where do they cross paths, and is all what it
seems? Across town, Harley has made a decision about her future.
What does it involve? It seems she's done with the corporate world
for now and is ready for a career change. What avenue does she want
to explore? Or should we say re-explore? Up at the cabin of
captivity, Gus sees Beth. Does he know she's the one behind the
kidnappings? Or does she spin a believable tale?

GL Alumni Pilot Castings

Figure there will probably be a few of these, so I'll start a thread
without naming anybody in the topic heading, and we can just keep
adding on to it...
--
HOLLIS AND RAE (ABC) - Laura Harris ("Dead Like Me") and Jaime Ray
Newman ("Stargate: Atlantis") have been tapped for the lead roles in
the drama pilot, about two 30-year-old female best friends, a
detective and a prosecuting attorney, who tackle criminal cases in a
small southern town. The former character, Hollis Chandler, is
described in the casting notice as: "28-32, a strong-minded
prosecuting attorney, attractive and bright. Hollis is a no-frills
Southern gal, divorced, with no intention of marrying again. Honest,
principled, with a droll sense of humor and a disdain for any formal
restraints, Hollis clearly enjoys her life, takes pride in her work
and cherishes her friendship with Rae. Speaks With A Southern
Accent." The latter, Rae Devereaux, then is detailed as: "28-32, a
Southern belle, attractive, intelligent and forthright. Rae is a
homicide detective, Hollis' long-time best friend. Clearly married
to her work, she's making plans to tie the knot, but her hesitation
to make the big commitment is palpable. There's a quirky energy
about Rae, an eagerness to experience life before settling down.
Speaks With A Southern Accent."
Also joining the cast is Frank Grillo ("Prison Break") as Henry
Callaway: "30-45. Rae's partner, this homicide detective is
attractive, thorough, matter of fact, and maybe the only person in
the story who doesn't speak with a Southern accent. A Yankee
transplant, he's still trying to navigate the territory, something
of a foreigner in Savannah, Georgia. Good at his job, he is clearly
intrigued by Rae; and his good looks are not lost on her. Speaks
With A Southern Accent." Callie Khouri ("Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya
Sisterhood") is behind the Touchstone Television/Bochco Productions-
based hour, which she'll direct from her own script. Khouri and
Steven Bochco then will serve as executive producers with Dayna
Bochco producing. Production is set to begin this spring in
Savannah, Georgia.

Headline News:

24-Year Vet Jerry Douglas Leaves Y&R

It's the end of the line for long-time The Young and the Restless
star Jerry Douglas (John Abbott). After nearly two-and-a-half
decades the soap vet will be exiting the show this week.
Douglas hasn't been fired. His exit is chalked up to a storyline:
his on-screen persona will take the fall for the murder of Tom
Fisher.
But some fans are wondering if the top-rated soap can really afford
to ditch one of its longest-running cast members. And a cryptic
statement from the show's newly-appointed head writer does raise
some eyebrows. [Read related story: Behind-the-scenes changes at
Y&R]
"Jerry has been, and continues to be, an integral part of the Y&R
cast," said Lynn Latham in a statement.
Douglas joined the cast of The Young and the Restless in March 1982.
Prior to making his first appearance on daytime television, Douglas
appeared in numerous feature films, including "Mommy Dearest"
and "Good Guys Wear Black."
When contacted by soapcentral.com for comment on the possibility of
a return to The Young and the Restless by Douglas, CBS declined to
comment.
"Y&R does not comment on contracts, rumors or storyline
information," a spokesperson responded.
Douglas makes his final appearance - at least for now - on March
1st.

Y&R STAR GOES TO JAIL

In today's episode of The Young and the Restless, John Abbott gets a
seven-year prison sentence for shooting the vile Tom Fisher (Roscoe
Born). Daytime vet Jerry Douglas last airs on March 1, when the
Abbott patriarch heads off to the slammer. Is this the bitter end
for John? Not necessarily. Here, TVGuide.com gets the soap dish from
the man himself.

TVGuide.com: You've had more airtime in this tale than you've had in
years! I prefer to watch a pro like you over the teen rookies any
day.
Jerry Douglas: Thank you. Even if I die tomorrow, I have had one of
the greatest story lines an actor can ask for. I don't need more. If
there's more coming, that's great. I think the work we've done will
make them write more for John Abbott. I really want you to watch
what happens in the days after John's sentencing. I'm really proud
of the work of the Abbotts because it was painful stuff they have to
go through to say goodbye to John.

TVGuide.com: It's distressing whenever John has a stroke or loses
his memory. Years ago, Y&R made him "forget" his risky romance with
Mamie the housekeeper.
Douglas: It bugs me just as much as you when they do it as a cop-
out. The one time I thought the loss of memory was totally organic
to the story line was this time. When you are a normal human being
who's brought up with good values, it's shocking to shoot a gun at
someone. So John was upset and he drove his car, got into an
accident and had amnesia about what happened. I bought it this time.
It also gave Eileen Davidson (Ashley) and Judith Chapman (Gloria) a
great story of protecting John.

TVGuide.com: Indeed! It's all playing out unusually quickly for a
classically slow-paced show.
Douglas: I am thrilled with our new writer, Lynn Marie Latham, who
wrote for Ted Shackelford's (Will) old series, Knots Landing. She's
a very bright woman. With Lynn, the show will move at a faster pace;
she doesn't like to drag it out. In 30 days we took John from
remembering [Tom's] shooting to his sentencing. All the pain and
passion and twists and turns really juiced me up as an actor. I
loved it.

TVGuide.com: It was a hoot to see John watching over Lauren and
Michael's wedding with a gun in his belt.
Douglas: Eileen Davidson said to me, "You love walking around with
that gun! You can play your old hoods again." They all remember my
career before Y&R. In the '70s, I guest-starred as tough guys and
killers on a lot of cop shows.

TVGuide.com: Well, John looked like quite the tough guy!
Douglas: I asked if I could add a line after Paul (Doug Davidson)
gives me the gun and says, "Be careful, John." They forget the
backstory that Paul's father and I were Marines together! So I
say, "Paul, I was a Marine, remember?" And Paul says, "Sorry, John."
That way, the audience knows John is a tough dude. He can handle
himself because he is a self-made man who came from the streets.

TVGuide.com: It'd be fun to see you behind bars in an orange
jumpsuit, scrapping with the other inmates.
Douglas: They've talked about showing John Abbott in prison. I don't
know what the hell they're going to do. If they bring me back to do
prison scenes, I need advance notice so I can have four or five
days' beard growth and look edgy!

SUDS STARS SPIN THE WHEEL

LIGHT'S OUT FOR SANDY

Guiding Light now confirms that Scott Bailey and his conniving
character, Sandy Foster, have been written off the show. He last
airs March 14. Given that Sandy has turned rather surly and spooky
since he lost Tammy to her half cousin, Jonathan, this news comes as
no surprise. Without spoiling it, though, I can tell you that
Sandy's exit will raise some eyebrows.

News:

Davetta Sherwood (NuLily) sat down with CBS for an interview about
her role on Y&R. Click here to read it. Also Jerry Douglas (John)
had an interview on his last days on Y&R. Click here to read it.
(See tvguide section of newsletter for JD's interview).

Sweet And Strong
Time makes the heart grow fonder, so the saying goes. And that was
definitely the case for Lily and Daniel. But now that Lily is back
in town, what will become of their love story? DAVETTA SHERWOOD
joined the cast of Y&R recently to take on this sweet but very
strong character. Find out how she plans to tackle the role of Lily.

CBS.com: Tell me about how your casting came about.
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: I auditioned about four or five months
ago. I had a very, very interesting audition with Marnie [Saitta,
Y&R Casting Director]. She said she liked me and said, "I'm going to
bring you in later this week to meet the producers." So we did that
and then I didn't hear anything. I just assumed [I didn't get it].
In most of the auditions [I go on] afterwards I just throw it away,
forget all about it. But not this one. I never thought about doing
soaps. I was just interested in the girl for some reason. And I came
back in I don't know how much later and I read again. Then I didn't
hear anything. Then I did a screen test and if you do a screen test
you know it's going to be between you and maybe one or two other
people. But that's not how it was. There were six of us. I was told
that was it, "We'll call you this week." Heard nothing. Then they
called and said, "We want to see you one more time to read with
Kristoff [St. John] the guy who plays Neil." Then I went to New
York, I was going to stay a w eek and a half and they
called me the next day. They said, "Come home." I came home; I read
with Neil, there were three of us. They called and said, "You'll
know tomorrow by noon." I was in contact with one of the other girls
and we were like, "OK, did you get it? No, did you? No." Ok, that
means that the other girl got it. Noon passed, one passed, two
passed, three passed, four came, Oprah went off -- they didn't call.
Then I got [a call] and they said, "Sorry but...you gotta start work
on Tuesday." So it was cool.

CBS.com: Who was the first person you called with the news?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: My agent and then I called my mom on
conference call. And she kind of freaked out. That night she threw
together a quick get together. Lots of people came to the house to
say congratulations. That night while everyone was partying, I was
looking for an apartment. So, Saturday morning I went looking.

CBS.com: Where were you living?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: In the Inland Empire, [California].

CBS.com: When you said that you weren't looking to get into
soaps, what were your hesitations?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: Getting stuck, staying for too many years
where [other genres] wouldn't accept me and not being able to do
other work while I was doing Daytime, not being able to show my
other talents. There are so many things that I'm here to do.

CBS.com: You said that this character drew you in. What was
it about Lily that attracted you?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: Replacing someone wasn't something I was
interested in. I wanted to create my own character. You can't really
recreate if you're replacing. But I decided to recreate Lily a
little bit and do some things that, I don't know, maybe the fans
wanted her to do before or didn't. I'm just going to bring myself to
the character but she's a little more defiant than I was at her age.
She has a lot of respect for her parents now and I wanted to show
that. I think a lot of parents of teenagers, especially of
daughters, can relate to this girl who thinks she knows everything
and wants to do what she wants to do. I want to be able to portray
that because I was kind of like that. I wasn't as bad as Lily.

CBS.com: Were the producers encouraging you to bring change
to Lily's character?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: I think they liked where they were with
Lily, but I think they liked me in my audition because I was a
little more edgy and a little more in your face. The character that
I portray of Lily is not a baby. She's not whining, she's
like, "What?" She's strong. I think they like my spunk and that's
what I brought to Lily. I think the direction that I got from [the
producers] was to be able to play her strong and use that "fire"
when necessary. Because you're not going to see fire in every scene,
but when it's necessary, I know how to bring that out and I think
that's what they liked. That's what I like about her too.

CBS.com: Would you like to see Daniel and Lily be able to
keep their relationship a secret?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: It's fun. It's fun to do that. Since I am
in Daytime, I want drama. Maybe Lily could find interest in someone
else.

CBS.com: Were you familiar with the storyline before coming
to Y&R?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: No. The first episode I saw of Y&R was
when Lily left. I know that they were in love. I know about it but I
didn't get to see it. I think I'd like to finally maybe see it, not
so that I could portray Lily the same way, but just so I can
understand it better.

CBS.com: You've gotten a chance to work with all the actors
who play the Winters and Michael Graziadei (Daniel). How's that been?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: Michael and I get along very well. We
laugh all the time. Kristoff [St. John, Neil] and Victoria [Rowell,
Dru] and Bryton [McClure, Devon], we all get along. We're having a
great time.

CBS.com: How would you describe your whole experience with
the show so far?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: Welcoming, fun, exciting, fast, very
different. I'm learning so much. I go home at night and I'm
like, "What was that?"

CBS.com: Yes, the pace of Daytime drama is very fast.
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: Yes. And you should know already we're
trying to get one take. And then the long dramatic soap pause. I'm
getting real good at my pause. You gotta work on your pause if you
want to do Daytime soaps. [Laughs] That dramatic soap stare.

CBS.com: When did you realize that you wanted to be an actor?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: A long time ago. Let's just say, if I
could talk to the world, if I could speak to the masses and play
hockey, then I'd be a hockey player. So, I'm not really interested
[in being famous]. It's fun to be famous I'm sure, it's fun to have
a lot of money I'm sure, but I'm more interested in being able to
talk where everyone's listening. Right now in 2006, that's how you
touch the people. That's who's listening. They're listening to
entertainment. We're running it right now. Whatever we say do, is
what the people do, especially young people. So like I said, if I
could play hockey and make them listen, I'd play hockey. Whatever
way I can talk to the people.

CBS.com: Where are you from originally?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: New York. I'm from New York and another
direction [the producers] gave me was to lose the accent. I'm
working on it. I didn't know I had one until they said it's very,
very strong. I'm really working on that. I'm from New York. I've
spent some time in Maryland when I was younger.

CBS.com: When did you decide to move out to California?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: My mom asked me when I was in 7th or 8th
grade. She said, "Are you serious about acting? Are you sure this is
what you want to do?" I said, "Yes." I went away that summer to
Massachusetts to a prestigious boarding summer school for six weeks
and when I came home, the day I got home, all my things were packed.
She said, "You're going to go for a month and stay with your uncle
and then I'm going to come too."

CBS.com: After you moved out, did you begin taking classes?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: No, not right away. I do take classes now.
I think every actor should take classes. But no I didn't take
classes at first. I just started to audition for commercials. There
was never a time in my life, ever, that I thought I need to think
about doing something else or maybe this may not work. I never knew
that ultimate success didn't exist. I didn't know that some people
come to this town and leave this town with nothing. I didn't know
that. I thought you come to this town to get something and you get
it. My friends told me, "You think everything is possible. No matter
what is going on, you figure out a way to do it." So I never really
had a time where I thought, "Maybe I should just go back home." None
of this is a surprise to me. It just makes me excited. I'm happy
this happened, but I'm not surprised.

CBS.com: Having done work in film and television, what is
your favorite medium?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: I like the freedom here. I can take off my
jacket in a scene and not worry if there's a mic attached or I'm
making a lot of noise. It's different here. I could pour the coffee
really, you can really eat the food that's on the plate. It's just
different. You're hanging out and you're talking and it's more real
it feels like. Less rules. There are always three cameras that are
there and they speak in theater terms -- stage left, stage right,
upstage and down stage and they don't mark your marks. They just
tell you quickly where your marks are and on what line you need to
move. So that adjustment has been a little different. Before you
mark's a mark of tape so you know where you're going to stand and
everything is layed out for you. And they don't have craft services
here. [Laughs] There's not as much catering, but it's kind of cool
because it leaves you to be independent and sort of 9 to 5. You go
to work and go home. You can come to work looking however you want
because they'll fix it. It's fun.

CBS.com: Many actors like the fact that they get a chance to
really get to know their character instead of always playing someone
new.
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: Yes. Here I'm Lily all the time. I do have
an opportunity to say you know maybe next month she can start being
more whatever. It's a little more fun to experiment.

CBS.com: Does Lily hold bitterness towards her parents
because they sent her away?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: I think so. I think she's a little bit
upset about what happened. I think deep down Lily understands why
they did all the things that they did and the actions that they
took. She's just not happy with their decisions. She's just a young
girl and that's how we are. But I think she has a newfound respect.

CBS.com: Devon has a romantic interest in Lily now. Could
there ever be anything between them romantically?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: I think she's totally oblivious to how he
feels about her. And he's hinting but she still doesn't get it.
Anything that's not Daniel, Lily can't see.

CBS.com: What are your personal outside interests?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: Talking on the phone. A lot of my friends
are out of state. And so I like to speak to them often. I have two
good friends. I read a lot and I write. I want to direct and produce
and I've been writing. I wrote a one woman show. I'm writing a book
about my story. I'm publishing a poetry at the end of the year.
These are my goals. I've written them out, just like I've written
out my whole life and it's all happening. So I know that these
things are going to happen because I've written them first. Writing
definitely, and reading new books and I like to be alone. I like
independence. I want to work on my plays and decorate. These are the
things that I like to do. And then I'll find love someday.

CBS.com: Do you have any siblings?
DAVETTA SHERWOOD: I have a sister and a brother in New York.
They are younger. They have other interests. They are excited for
me.

is not a good girl, she's out to raise hell. Not to mention a bad boy
boyfriend  Gillespie, the hit man last seen almost offing Ava  who
breaks into Gus and Harley's house and steals camera and Gus's gun. As
if the company Daisy's keeping isn't bad enough, Harley is devastated
to learn that her daughter has been making secret trips to
Springfield purposefully hasn't returned her urgent calls for help
with the custody case. She is definitely a force to be reckoned with.

Casting News

Comings and Goings

Stephanie Gatschet (Tammy Winslow):
As previously reported, Gatschet is leaving, though she had some
taping to do in January. "When people start saying good-bye to me, I
try to cover their mouths and not listen. Because I know as soon as I
really start saying good-bye, I'm going to be a wreck. But also, I
don't think it's going to be a forever good-bye to any of these
people." Says the actress, who been with the show since 2002. Her last
air date has not yet been released.

Tom Pelphrey (Jonathan Randall)
As previously reported, Pelphrey is also leaving after two-a half
years as one of Springfield's most volatile characters. "The writing
of this whole ending has so good. We've sitting in our dressing rooms
 and I guess it's mix of all the different things, knowing you're
leaving, knowing you've fallen in love with the characters  but we
were reading these scripts and just crying." he says. His last airdate
has also not yet been released.

Rest of the week Summary

Jon hopes a baby shower will help cure her blues, but Tammy sees her
being sweet to Sarah in private At the party, Lizzie mimics the
behavior and dialogue of the character who has postpartum depression
in a movie. When Tammy discover the movie, she's stunned Lizzie is
faking After Alan is released from his holding cell, Alex warns him to
steer clear of the baby shower When Beth shows up, she argues with
Tammy and it escalates into a fight. Having drugged his drink, Lizzie
forces Jon to make a toast. He gets woozy, so she takes him to their
room. When he passes out, Lizzie seizes the moment and snuggles up to
him. He puts his arms around her and Tammy witnesses. Alan worries
about Lizzie getting access to her trust fund and her stake in Spaulding.

It happens pretty fast after Jonathan wakes up, having been drugged by
Lizzie. He immediately realizes his wife set him up to think they
slept together. "He knows he wouldn't have sex with Lizzie." explains
Jonathan's portrayer, Tom Pelphrey (ouch!).
"There's no desire there. He's in a fog, but she keeps trying to come
on to him. He knows this [marriage] has gone on way too long. Lizzie
is insane."

Jonathan actually thinks he's doing her a favor by dumping her. "This
is not helping her mental health at all, staying together," reasons
Pelphrey. "Tammy does tell him about faking the postpartum, but that's
not even the issue. He says, `I'm not mad about that. The point is,
this is not good for either one of us. It's not going to be good for
the kid. It's time to go.'"

So he goes  right into Tammy's arms. "Whatever obstacles there have
been, they decide it doesn't matter," exults Stephanie Gatschet (Tammy).

"They're just going to concentrate on their life together."

Good luck, kids. You'll need it.

`Lights' Out for Pelphrey

After months of keeping mum on the matter, Tom Pelphrey (Jonathan) is
finally talking about his departure from GL.

"When I was first going to leave in August (when his original contract
expired), I knew in my head, "I want to go. I want to try other
things." Confide Pelphrey. "There are other things I want to do that
you can't really do while on the show. If I want to do a play, I want
to really be able to do it and not have to worry about showing up
late. But I didn't feel in my gut yet that it was time."

So Pelphrey signed a short-term contract with the show. "when I signed
the extension, I knew at the end of that, it would be time. In these
last four months, I feel at peace  like I've made the right
decision," he reflects. "It's sad and I'm going to miss everybody like
crazy. But I don't have that doubt anymore."

And he can still visit. "I'll pop in here once a month and see what's
going on." He smiles. "I've been around these jokers more than I've
been around my friends or family for the past 2 ½ years."

Zimmer: "I cried so much."

Kim Zimmer (Reva, GL) was wiped out after taping her last scenes with
TV son Tom Pelphrey (Jonathan) just before Christmas.

"I had these really emotional scenes with Ron Raines (Alan) too, so
when I left the studio, I felt like I'd gone 10 rounds with Muhammad
Ali," she sighs. "I had been so emotionally beat up. I cried so much I
couldn't even blow my nose. Ugh."

Zimmer will miss Pelphrey terribly. "I don't know what I'm going to do
without him." she admits. "there's going to be a huge void when he's
gone. He's not just a talented kid, he `s become the real heart of the
show. People adore him: the crew, the cast, makeup He's such a good
kid. He's respectful. He's not one of your typical young actors who
has been handed this job on a silver platter. He's respectful of the
job and works really hard. It's reminiscent of Tony Geary (Luke,
General Hospital.)"

Pelphrey plans stay in New York for the time being. "He wants to do
theater." Notes Zimmer. "But you know the first thing he auditions for
in L.A., he'll get."

Tales From The Interview
Reporting By Jennifer Lenhart

Covering soaps is tricky, because we have to criticize the shows and
ask hard questions, but also maintain a professional rapport with the
people we talk to, since we have to make sure they'll talk to us
again! It can get a little uncomfortable interviewing actors for that
reason, but head writers and executive producers are even tougher,
because when we criticize the show, it's usually because of something
they've done. (With actors, at least, you can always blame the
writing!) So even though I (and many of my fellow editors) believe AS
THE WORLD TURNS is still one of the better shows on the air, I
prepared to interview Jean Passanante with a long list of fan
complaints -- and the knowledge that we'd just named ATWT the show
with the "Best Starts, Worst Finishes" in 2006. At the top of my list
was my personal quibble -- that Simon and Carly had actually fallen
in
love. And even though we had to agree to disagree on that point, I
found Passanante to be extremely gracious and genuinely passionate
about both t

I haven't been out to LA in awhile, which means I haven't been to the
DAYS set to do in person interviews. Luckily, I had an actor on the
schedule who didn't need to chat with me face-to-face to give me
enough for four pages and his name is Bryan R. Dattilo (Lucas). First
of all, Bryan gives good phone and kept me laughing throughout our
conversation. It's a shame we don't see more of his comedic side
on-screen because he really knows how to deliver a one-liner. It
wasn't all jokes, though. He talked candidly about the
Carrie/Austin/Lucas/Sami story that fizzled, as well as how it feels
for him to see so many castmates leave the show. He also dished about
his personal life and the special woman in it. I didn't have room to
include everything, so here's a little extra for all you "Lumi" fans.
When I asked how he would describe his relationship with Alison
Sweeney (Sami), he said, "Me and the Sweenster? Fun. I think we have
a
really good relationship. Very professional at times. We kid around

Ever wonder what Digest editors talk about in the halls? Here's

too
distracted by the three-day weekend ahead, I aimed to regard the TV
as
background noise on the last Friday of 2006. But once OLTL's
Evangeline started belting out disco at Capricorn, I was a goner. The
New Year's Eve episode of OLTL was a delight, and proved that the
citizens of Llanview know how to do it up right. (Well, except for
those recovering burn patients who "wring in" the New Year by trying
to strangle other patients). It all started at Capricorn with
scantily
clad fashion designers Adriana and Layla debuting their "Exposed"
line
by having friends and club-goers model the lingerie as part of their
NYE getups. When Jessica unveiled her fringed bra top (it sounds much
worse than it looked) and mugged for sudden photog Christian, not
only
did she invoke Tess, but her black pants suit was reminiscent of
fellow blonde bombshell Madonna in her "Express Yourself" days. And
when Claudia fell off the wagon and had to cab it home, it was

SOD - January 23 Issue

Posted by ljacks13 @ Sweetest Taboo

Jammy is on the cover with the title "Final Good-bye" - but it's not
you think, it about another article with Tom AND Stephanie that they
are referring to.

Jonathan and Tammy Wed on GL

Jonathan Tammy make it official this week and wed in an impromptu
wedding. "They're out of the barn, hallelujah!" jokes Stephanie
Gatschet (Tammy).

Leading up to the "I do's," Lizzie desperately seeks Alan's help to do
whatever it takes to keep Sarah away from Jon. "Lizzie has been trying
to manipulate Jonathan, and her last-ditch effort is to give the baby
to Alan,' explains Tom Pelphrey (Jonathan).

Fed up with Lizzie's lies, Jonathan tells her he wants out of their
marriage for good and requests an annulment. After threatening him.
Lizzie evades Beth's watchful gaze and sneaks out of the house, taking
Sarah with her. While visiting father Ray, she leaves Sarah in the car
alone and feigns confusion about her daughter's whereabouts. Then she
discovers her car has been stolen  with Sarah in the backseat.
"Lizzie, at this point has proven herself to be a fairly unfit
mother," notes Gatschet. "I don't think Tammy ever has the intention
to take over as Sarah's mother but she does know that Sarah would have
the safest, most stable life if she and Jonathan are happy and taking
care of her together."

Outraged, Jonathan files for custody of Sarah once the car is found.
After his marriage is legally dissolved, he asks Tammy to marry him.
"He says, `let's get married, let's do it today, let's do it now,
let's not wait another second." Previews Gatschet. "Tammy's down with
that idea because that way they truly can be a family."

While Lizzie silently looks on during the last-minute ceremony, Alan
summons hit-man Gillespie. When Tammy spots Gillespie, she senses
something is wrong, "She has no clue who he is," Gatschet explains.
"Tammy is coming back to her bedroom at the Beacon and Gillespie is
standing outside the door on the phone. She overhears him talking,
describing Jonathan's car and saying he'll take care of it.' She knows
right away he's going after Jonathan "

Desperate Measures

Baby Sarah is handed over to Alan's eager arms on Thursday, January
18 On Monday, January 22, Daisy is in over her head and Gus is forced
to protect her.

Reva turns to Josh when she finds a lump under her arm.

Lizzie prepares to confess everything to Jonathan.

Unaware of events unfolding, a happy Cassie makes plans for the future,

There's an article about the comings and goings of the soap stars for
this coming year, features quotes from Tom and Stephanie, I will scan
and post that article later tonight. Also, the spoiler article
features a picture of the two of them on their wedding day, they look
great. Jonathan's hair is down, and Tammy is beautiful in her wedding
dress.

SOW - January 23 Issue

Tammy & Jonathan Tie the Knot

Star-crossed cousins Tammy and Jonathan finally wed this week on
Guiding Light, but it won't be happily ever after.

After a quickie annulment from Lizzie, Jonathan pops the question.
"It's sweet," says Tom Pelphrey (Jonathan). "They decide they want to
get married quickly. They are going to go to the justice of the peace,
but Jonathan talks to Billy, who says, `You owe that girl more than a
justice of the peace.' So he gets a church, and Father Ray marries
them. They say their own vows."

That said, they put their own spin on it. "It's a wedding that
shouldn't be entirely traditional, because it's Tammy and Jonathan,"
offers Stephanie Gatschet (Tammy).
"It's small and intimate, which is all it needs to be for them."

Jonathan and Tammy consummate their marriage at the Beacon, but the
honeymoon is soon over. "Mel calls and says Jonathan got temporary
custody," previews Pelphrey. "So he calls Lizzie: "I'm going to come
get Sarah..'"

Jonathan leaves Tammy, and "it's all down hill from there." Sighs
Gatschet. "Tammy overhears Gillespie talking about going after
somebody. He describes the car and the license plate, and Tammy
realizes that it's Jonathan's."

It looks like Remy is taking some of Dinah's relationship advice when
he rejects Tammy's request for help.

Alan shocks Beth and manages to get a hold of baby Sarah. This is
thanks largely to Lizzie applying to him for help after Jonathan is
granted temporary custody.

Alan and Reva call a truce and maybe more.

Reva receives an update on her condition from Dr. Colin McCabe. She
turns to Cal for help before he ducks out of her life and leaves her
for Josh's sympathy. This, of course, cuts in on his romance with Cassie.

Jonathan gets a quick annulment and Father Ray marries him to Tammy.

Hitman Gillespie's job may involve Jonathan.

Soapdom

Reva tries to offer a failing Cal support. Will she be able to nurse
him back to health or is this the end for her new friend? It doesn't
look good as Cal is wheeled into surgery, but will he make it out
alive or will Reva have to say goodbye?

Meanwhile, Alan tells Beth he will stop at nothing to get Sarah. What
will this include? How far will he go to take control of his
great-granddaughter? Just what will Lizzie have to say about it?

Across town, Lizzie's car is stolen. That's a bummer, but why is the
socialite so panic stricken over a car? You would be too, if your
daughter were in the back seat! What will Lizzie do? Who will she turn
to in order to get her child back? More importantly, how will Jonathan
react when he learns what's happened to his little girl?

Later, Tammy grows worried about Jonathan. Why's she so concerned? We
can't share those details, but we do know she asks Remy for help in
the matter. What can he do and will he do it? Will Remy help her save
the man she chose over him, or will he be too proud to lift a finger?

In the meantime, Lizzie shows up at Alan's door. What's she doing
there? Has she shown up to make sure he stays out of her life, or does
she want his help?

Greetings From The Editor
Lynn Leahey

Dear Readers,
The whole situation is rather crazy," understates YOUNG AND
RESTLESS's Christian J. LeBlanc (Michael) of Paul holding Sheila
captive. That's a sentiment echoed by fans these days, but if any
character can shoulder way-out plot twists, it's psycho Sheila. Next
week Sheila takes a dramatic stab at escaping. "Why have haven't they
just killed her?" teases Michelle Stafford (Phyllis/Sheila). "There's
a reason for that." Get the story in your new Digest.... Paul
Satterfield, who plays another nasty nutcase, Spencer, on ONE LIFE TO
LIVE, talks about playing out his character's last days on the show.
"I try to keep everybody guessing because Lord knows they don't
really tell us what's going on," he says. "So every day, it seems
that our choices are a big guess." As for soaps, the actor reflects,
"There's a lot to be said for working on daytime nowadays. You can
make what you want of it." Make the most of your new issue, by
grabbing it from the mailbox!

Tales From The Interview
Reporting By Naomi Rabinowitz
At Digest, we often print fitness tips from the stars. However, a few
years ago, Ilene Kristen (Roxy, OLTL), who's spoken quite openly
about her thyroid problems, gave me some useful advice when I learned
I was suffering from a similar ailment. Over the years, she's kept
track of me, always asking for an update on my condition when we
speak. I was pleased to tell her during our latest conversation that
I'd just gotten a good progress report from my endocrinologist and
was planning to do the four-mile Midnight Run, which is held in
Central Park every New Year's Eve. Being a runner herself, she was
very excited and stated that she wanted to do it, too. Sure enough,
at the event, who should I see waving to me in the crowd of 5,000
people, but Kristen? She looked great in her sports attire and was
all geared up to run the entire course because, "I'm in that running
mode," she explained. My husband, two friends and I chose to walk it
instead, but I was pleased that I was able to finally
repay Kristen for her help by giving her a healthy tip.

Reporting by Tom Stacy
I never had the privilege of meeting former President Gerald Ford,
but I did interview his son, Steven Ford, when he returned to his Y&R
role in 2002. I confess I hadn't watched Y&R during Ford's 1981-1987
run as good guy PI Andy, but I was impressed with his short stint
when Andy returned to help best pal Paul out of a personal jam. What
impressed me even more, though, was the man himself. Intelligent,
well-spoken and quite funny, as he has gotten older, Steven not only
physically resembles his dad, but exhibits many shared qualities that
Ford Sr. showed when he ran the nation. And, after years of
conversations about, "The craft of acting" with countless thespians,
it was incredibly exciting to converse about world events and what it
was like to be a teenager in the White House. Watching Steven and his
siblings support their mom, Betty, during the televised funeral
services was deeply moving, and we at Digest extend our heartfelt
sympathies to the Ford family. And, if anyone at Y&R
is reading this, considering what Paul's currently going through
with crazy Sheila, maybe it's time Andy comes back for a visit? Just
a thought....

Reporting By Devin Owens
Being a total KNOTS LANDING fan (okay, fanatic), I was really excited
about interviewing Ted Shackelford who played lovable putz Gary
Ewing. If I had my way, Ted's entire feature in the new Digest would
be chock full of KNOTS memories, but I have to defer to the Y&R
viewers who want to know more about the man who plays Genoa City's
very serious DA, Will Bardwell. But for my fellow KNOTS geeks, here's
a tidbit that didn't get included: In December 1984, KNOTS kicked off
the story of Empire Valley, a massive planned community that Gary was
attached to as the architect. Since principal filming for the show
started in the summer, a real-life event threatened the location
shoots. "The Olympics were in L.A.," recalls Ted. "We thought that
would really cramp traffic and then we wouldn't be able to get to
locations. So we went up to Oregon. It turned out there was no
traffic nightmares in L.A. after all but it was great because I loved
being in Oregon. We were at this extraordinary resort.
It was fabulous."

Reporting by Danielle McClure
As Digest's GUIDING LIGHT editor, I receive a bevy of e-mail
inquiries from fans desperate to know what their favorite departed
stars are up to now, so I was thrilled when I recently had the
opportunity to catch up with Nancy St. Alban (ex-Michelle) to get her
thoughts on the show's 70th anniversary and to find out if she'll
ever return to Springfield. Turns out, St. Alban literally has her
hands full as the mom of two small children (ages 3 and 1 1/2). "I
have to run into the city almost every day for an appointment or
audition and running back to take care of them and that whole thing.
I decided to have kids young because I was on the show, so I'm being
tortured because of it!" she laughed. When she's not running around
taking care of her tykes, St. Alban is acting, but she admits soaps
haven't really been her focus. Not surprisingly, she's still close
with many former castmates including her old on-screen flame Paul
Anthony Stewart (ex-Danny) and Saundra Santiago (ex-Carmen). St.
Alban shared some of her fondest off-screen moments when working on
GL including a time when she and Yvonna Wright (Mel) went into
hysterics from laughing so hard during a scene that it took 10 takes
to complete. Before hanging up with her, I had to ask: Will Michelle
ever return to Springfield? "Michelle was a really important part of
their history and I hope that they wake up one day and realize that
they need to have somebody back there doing that."

As the World Turns
Once again, Adam and Will's fists fly over Gwen. Margo is named
Oakdale's new police chief  too bad that's the same day her son Casey
is exposed as a thief. Katie decides to accept Kim's offer to resume
her TV career at WOAK. After Steve mistook her for a hooker, Emily is
tempted to try the world's oldest profession for real.

The Bold and the Beautiful
As Eric gears up for the Forrester Originals fashion show, he is
blissfully ignorant of Nick's sabotage plot. Brooke and Stephanie
argue about the inappropriate attraction between Rick and Phoebe.
Steph also resents her sister Pam's obvious fondness for Eric. Rick
runs into the new and improved Shane, who is getting his act together
to make himself worthy of Phoebe.

The Young and the Restless
Kevin is worried about his missing Crimson Lights barista, Jana. Paul
desperately wants Det. Maggie Sullivan to live, but he also fears she
will rat him out to the authorities. The sinister Sheila Carter
kidnaps Phyllis and two newborn babies, Summer and Fenmore. Later on,
Lauren personally tracks down her psycho rival  and a deadly
confrontation ensues.

Victoria Rowell is Leaving The Young and the Restless
Although The Young and the Restless had "no comment" on this matter,
Victoria Rowell's personal publicist confirms to TVGuide.com that she
asked to be released from her contract early. Rowell's request has
been granted, so she will wrap up her Y&R run in early April.

Obviously, this is surprising timing since Rowell's character,
Drucilla Barber Winters, is the key player in a front-burner murder
mystery ("Who killed Carmen Mesta?") right now. Hmm...

Perhaps Rowell feels it's time to take another shot at the brass ring?
She has enjoyed tastes of success in primetime TV and films (Diagnosis
Murder, Eve's Bayou). And she did just score herself some good reviews
as Samuel L. Jackson's wife in the big-screen feature, Home of the
Brave. Movie critic Richard Roeper of Ebert & Roeper said she "holds
her own and then some. So, big thumbs up for that."

Although the actress continues to pursue film roles, Rowell's rep
says, "Victoria has a memoir called The Women Who Raised Me coming out
on April 9. She wants to focus on promoting her book right now."

SOD Insider e-mail
GL
On Friday, February 9, Ashlee gets a new roommate.... On Monday,
February 12, Beth and Doris face off.... Lizzie has an epiphany and
points her anger in a new direction on Tuesday, February 13.

Dear Readers,
It was "out of the blue," reports Eileen Davidson, who had no sooner
been
booted off YOUNG AND RESTLESS as Ashley than she was summoned by BOLD
AND
BEAUTIFUL to reprise the role. She sounded over the moon when we
spoke to
her about the meeting with B&B Exec Producer Brad Bell that led to
the
offer. "When he was talking, I was really quiet because I hadn't
heard that
kind of passion and attention to detail since the '80s," she
marveled. "The
way he spoke about my character and his show, it reminded me so much
of his
father." Story-wise it all makes sense, since Ashley has been tied to
the
Forresters in the past. Nothing like a happy landing!... Also hoping
for a
happy landing are the shell-shocked actors at PASSIONS, still dealing
with
their show's cancellation announcement (no last air date has been
set, but
it won't be till the end of the summer). See what they have to say in
the
new issue of Digest.... And in March, Brian Gaskill will join GUIDING
LIGHT
as Reva's son, Dylan. Gaskill should have no problem adjusting to a
new soap
-- he's already had roles on ALL MY CHILDREN, B&B, PORT CHARLES and
AS THE
WORLD TURNS Check out all the latest comings and goings in the new
Digest,
on its way to you now.

The Water Cooler
Ever wonder what Digest editors talk about in the halls? With Dixie's
death
on AMC this week, we're thinking about the soap deaths that hit us
the
hardest.

Elaine G. Flores: One word (or is it two?): Jet Ski. Twenty-three
years
later and I still mourn the death of Jenny (and romance of Jenny and
Greg)
on AMC.

Lauren Flynn: When GENERAL HOSPITAL's Tony Jones said he could see
B.J. and
uttered the words, "I'm so happy," from his death bed, I most def
shed a
tear.

Mara Levinsky: Without question, I was hit the hardest by the death
of
ANOTHER WORLD's Vicky. No, not the one that took played out on AS THE
WORLD
TURNS after AW's cancellation. I am referring to the one that I was
convinced was imminent in 1989. Somehow, I took something the
character,
then played by my beloved Anne Heche, said right before the end of
the
Friday tag, which freeze-framed her dramatically before fading to
black (and
an interminable 47-hour wait for me to learn her fate), led me to
believe
that Vicky was about to take her own life. I was a wreck! I was also
12 at
the time, so cut me some slack. In any event, when Monday's episode
picked
up, it turned out that Vicky had gone to get a makeover, not
stationery with
which to compose a suicide note. But no actual demise on a soap ever
took
control of my head space quite like that one. That said, I wept most
hysterically at the deaths and/or funerals of these characters: GH's
B.J.
and Stone, GL's Maureen and Henry and ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Megan.

Lori Latusek: As a high school senior in 1992, I should've been
worrying
about college and which dress to wear to prom. Instead, I was glued
to my TV
to watch the memorial service after Anna and Robert Scorpio died in
the boat
explosion. I felt as if they were my aunt and uncle. Watching (my
imaginary
cousin) Robin at their memorial service, and thinking about this girl
growing up without her parents, devastated me. We're talking swollen
eyes
from crying so much. Of course, it turned out the Scorpios didn't
die, but
Robin, unfortunately, still went through her childhood without her
mom and
dad. Sniff, sniff.

Danielle McClure: Stone's death on GH was HUGE for me and my group of
friends. I remember we exclaimed a collective "Aww!" when he was
blind and
on his deathbed, then asked Robin to stand near the window so he
could see
her silhouette in the light one last time. It was so devastating to
see
Michael Sutton's dreamy mug disappear from Port Charles.

Naomi Rabinowitz: I was hit hard by Lucky's "death" on GH in 1999, as
well
as Cassie's death on Y&R in 2005. Death is a difficult enough subject
to
deal with, but the idea of these teens passing on and never getting a
chance
to live out their lives really got to me.

Devin Owens: Of all the soap demises I have witnessed (and there were
many),
I was deeply moved and saddened by Cassie's death on Y&R. The fact
that a
teen's life (even a fictional one) was cut short was tragic enough
but the
emotional writing and the brilliant performances by all those
involved
really made the tears flow.

Stephanie Sloane: Jenny's death on AMC in 1984 is what made me start
watching DAYS OF OUR LIVES. (And I am so thankful I did because it
was at
the perfect time, when Bo and Hope were on the run in New Orleans.)
Until I
started this job, I hadn't watched AMC again. See, there are people
who turn
the channel when their favorite character is killed off!

Tom Stacy: For me, one of the most memorable deaths on GH was when
Lucky was
presumed dead in a fire in 1999. Happily, viewers were alerted to the
fact
that Lucky had actually been kidnapped and was being held captive by
Helena,
but I will never forget the gut-wrenching performances of Anthony
Geary
(Luke), Genie Francis (Laura) and Rebecca Herbst (Elizabeth) as they
all
collapsed in grief upon hearing the news. The fact that Francis was
denied
an Emmy for that set of performances still sticks in my craw to this
day.

Type Set
Soap fans are a vocal bunch -- see what fellow viewers are saying
about
their shows.

"I am stunned that the pre-nomination Daytime Emmy list from GENERAL
HOSPITAL did not include Maurice Benard's [Sonny] name. Maurice put
everything he had into the bipolar storyline. He risked his own
health and
well-being to give us the most layered, realistic portrayal of the
illness
that he could. He helped countless people with his performance. I was
certain he would win his second Emmy because of it. This is a
travesty."

Soap Scrambler
Can you guess the actor?

GODU VANSODDI

This actor shares a few of his favorite things in Digest's 2/12 Take
5.

Last week we asked: When telling a murder mystery or disaster tale,
does
killing an important character make the story better?

You Said:
Yes, there's no real suspense if only minor characters are killed
off: 16%
No, the story is more interesting when we see how beloved characters
escape
jeopardy: 83%

For February sweeps, GH is playing out each episode in real time à la
24.
Would watching an actual hour elapse make you more or less likely to
watch a
soap?

Yes, real-time gives a show the chance to tell a story thoroughly
without
unrealistic time leaps.
No, the soaps are already slow enough as it is; pick up the pace.

Soapdom Fresh Peeks

Guiding Light

Judge Green's ruling comes in regarding Sydney's adoption. What has he
decided? Are Gus and Harley awarded custody or was the hearing too
damaging to their case? Elsewhere, Alan-Michael falls off a balcony.
That's awfully serious, but how has this occurred? Was he pushed, or
did he fall? Furthermore, will he survive the impact? Meanwhile,
Ashlee sets Lizzie up on a blind date. Is Elizabeth ready to move on
and forget about Jonathan? She certainly has no choice in the matter
since he's gone and everything, but how will the date go? Will Lizzie
hit it off with this Jamie person, or will it be a waste of time?
Speaking of Lizzie, Cassie pays her a visit. What does Tammy's mother
want with her? Apparently Cassie grills her about the night her
daughter died, but what does she ask her? What about the questions
unnerve Lizzie so much and how does Cassie know just what buttons to
push? In the meantime, Doris and Alan's wedding gets underway. Will
the "happy" event go off without a hitch? Not if Cassie has anything
to say about it, but what will she do? We hear she's seen reaching for
something out of her bag, but what does she pull on Alan? Does she
intend to inflict physical harm on him, or will someone beat her to
the punch? Witness Alan's nuptial nightmare this week on Guiding Light.

Dear Readers,
YOUNG AND RESTLESS fans, don't touch that dial on Monday, February
19.
That's the day Carmen's killer will be revealed, answering probably
the
most-asked question we get at the office these days. Check out your
new
issue for the info you'll need to get the most out of the big
reveal.... We
also talked to DAYS OF OUR LIVES's Farah Fath (Mimi), who explains
why it
was time to leave the show she's called home since she was 15.
"People are
like, 'Are you crazy?' " the actress told Digest editor Stephanie
Sloane.
But she has her reasons for leaving, which you'll find in the new
issue....
Also leaving daytime are B&B's Dax Griffin (Shane) and William DeVry
(Storm), who are being written off BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL. Get the scoop
on
their exits in our late-breaking news section, which should be

your mailbox very soon!

Tales From The Interview
Reporting By Devin Owens
While brunching on the patio of the Aroma Café in Studio City, CA one
Sunday
morning, I noticed Allison Janney, who has won several Emmys for
playing
C.J. on THE WEST WING, sitting at a nearby table with a male
companion.
After verifying with my own friends that, yes that was indeed who I
thought
she was (I have a penchant for mistaking common folk for
celebrities), I
stealthily watched her for the next 20 minutes from my vantage point.
When
Allison and company got up from the table to leave, I leaped up from
my
chair, approached her and said, "Hello, Allison?" Looking over her
sunglasses at me without smiling, she cautiously asked, "Yes?" I
inhaled
slightly. "I thought you were great in WEST WING and American
Beauty," I
started. "But I absolutely loved when you played Ginger the maid on
GUIDING
LIGHT." Allison's face immediately lit up. "I loved that role!" she
smiled.
"That was my first regular acting job. It saved my life. I was able
to pay
rent with Ginger." I singled out a couple of favorite memories, like
how she
and the other maid, Donna would be watching TV with their feet up at
the
Spaulding mansion and Allison laughed right along with me. "That
actress was
Tammy Lang," she recalled. "We had a lot of fun together." And just
like I
was interviewing a soap alum for a Where Are The Now feature, I had
to ask
that all-important question: "Would you ever do another soap role?"
She
didn't even hesitate. "Of course," she replied. "It's great work.
There are
some amazing actors on soaps." And I couldn't agree more.

Reporting By Tom Stacy
You might be surprised to know that not all of your favorite TV
couples get
along in real-life. Just because two actors share chemistry on-screen
doesn't mean they actually like each other. Happily, that is not the
case
with GENERAL HOSPITAL'S new supercouple in the making, Robin and
Patrick.
Their portrayers, Kimberly McCullough (Robin) and Jason Thompson
(Patrick)
really are pals. Check out these exchanges that didn't make our
interview:
Topic: Robin's drinking.
McCullough: I like playing drunk.
Thompson: That's comforting to hear.
Topic: Has she heard J.T.'s song on the ABC Christmas CD, "A Holiday
Affair."
McCullough: No. I keep asking him for a copy but he won't give it to
me.
Thompson: Like it's my responsibility to force her to listen to it.
McCullough: I want to listen to it ... I'm sure it's very nice. Even
though
I haven't heard it.

rumors --

Type Set
Soap fans are a vocal bunch -- see what fellow viewers are saying
about
their shows.

"The 2/6 episode of OLTL with John and Natalie reconnecting and
making love
was poignant, beautiful, and soulful! Every scene and every line was
magic.
Michael Easton and Melissa Archer were off-the-charts amazing in
their
portrayal of John and Natalie's deep love and desire for one another.
Their
emotions were raw and it was a beautifully done love scene, they were
divine! His emotional bonding and connection is the foundation of who
John
and Natalie are, and the fans need to see more of vintage John and
Natalie."

Flashback Photo

Blast from the past Barbara Montgomery (Susan Pratt) revisits Pine
Valley
tomorrow. You know she's Sean's mom, but here are some other facts:
- When she first hit town as Travis Montgomery's ex-wife,
Barbara
clashed with Erica, who was having Travis's baby. Babs blabbed about
Erica's
pregnancy.
- She fell in love with Tom Cudahy (Richard Shoberg) while he
was
married to comatose Skye. (Yeah, the same one who is on GH now.) When
Skye
woke up, she kidnapped Barbara and held her at gunpoint before Tom
saved the
day.
- When Barbara was watching Tom and Brooke's daughter, Laura
Cudahy,
she let the girl cross the street alone and Laura was mowed down by a
drunk
driver.
- She had a fling with Tad.
- When their daughter Molly was diagnosed with leukemia,
Barbara (who
was wed to Tom) and Travis (married to Erica) secretly conceived Sean
with
the intention of using his bone marrow to save Molly.
- After Erica lost custody of Bianca, the girl moved to
Seattle with
Travis, who was wed to Barbara. So stepmom Barbara helped raise
Binks.

Barbara (Susan Pratt) and Tom (Richard Shoberg) circa 1988.

This week on As the World Turns, Robin Mattson shows up in Oakdale as
a fleshpeddling pimp! See, Emily Stewart (Kelley Menighan Hensley) has
become a call girl, and Mattson's madam, Cheri, is just the dame to
teach Emily the trashy tricks of the trade. The talented daytime
veteran has played a variety of vamps and villainesses over the years,
but this is a new low even for her  and that's a good thing.
TVGuide.com rang up Ms. Mattson for some down and dirty dish on her
return to the afternoon suds.

TVGuide.com: You've played so many memorable soap vixens. What role do
fans most often recognize you for?
Mattson: It's Janet [from All My Children], Gina [from Santa Barbara]
and Heather [from General Hospital]. I would say it's most often
Janet. More often than not, it's a very warm and pleasant thing when
people come up and say hello, because they feel like they know you.
They usually call me "Janet From Another Planet" and they think I have
an explanation of why Kate Collins came back as Janet. I don't.

TVGuide.com: You played Janet after the character had drastic plastic
surgery, so it is strange that Kate Collins is playing the role again,
as if that never happened!
Mattson: I'm not talking about that.

TVGuide.com: OK... Your fans just miss seeing you play a bad girl. You
were such fun as "Mean Janet Green," but in your last few years on
AMC, Janet was so normal and sane.
Mattson: [Laughs] I went, "You're not really putting me in that apron
and making me bake cookies, are you?" That's just not me!

TVGuide.com: It's great that you're coming aboard As the World Turns.
I understand you're sticking around indefinitely?
Mattson: Yes, that's all I know. They have already added a few dates
beyond my initial booking. It's very open ended.

TVGuide.com: Please stay in Oakdale for many years!
Mattson: Well, thank you, but you must realize that's not entirely up
to me! [Laughs]

TVGuide.com: Of course. Are you open for a longterm stay if ATWT wants
you?
Mattson: Absolutely! I live in New York and while I'm flexible about
working on either coast, it's certainly nice being able to work from
my home base.

TVGuide.com: Let's dish about your character.
Mattson: Cheri is a madam who's used to getting what she wants. She's
a businesswoman. She's certainly going to show Emily who's boss! And
Kelley Menighan Hensley is lovely to work with.

TVGuide.com: Kelley's really enthused about this prostitution story.
What's funny is that her character has always been written as a slut.
Mattson: At least now she's getting paid for it!

TVGuide.com: Is Cheri a villainess in the vein of your other soap roles?
Mattson: She's not necessary dangerous or crazy. She just wants what
she wants, and she wants it now. Cheri could do more damage to you
with just the spoken word than with a gun. She singes people with her
verbal abuse.

TVGuide.com: You must have been tickled when ATWT offered you this part.
Mattson: It's fun! She's such a broad. I find myself falling into this
sort of Mae West mindset!

TVGuide.com: Anything else you'd like to update us about?
Mattson: Werner Roth and I were married on June 3. He's the former
captain of the New York Cosmos, which is a soccer team.

TVGuide.com: He sounds like a hunky jock!
Mattson: He is! I like to host parties where I cook and entertain.
Someone invited him to a party at my apartment and we hit it off. He
actually is really wonderful about running lines with me. He's a very
disciplined person and he has done a few turns as an actor himself. He
was in the movie Victory with Sylvester Stallone and Michael Caine.

TVGuide.com: Wow! That's so cute that he works with you on memorizing
your scripts.
Mattson: I really appreciate having his support. He's a harsh master,
though. "You changed this word and I think it's better the way it's
written." And he's usually right!

Exclusive Q&A: Bold and Beautiful Chief Bradley Bell

B&B will turn 20 on March 23. You don't seem old enough to have been
writing a show for 20 years!
Bradley Bell: I know! 20 is a big number. It's been a helluva fun ride.

So the 5,000th episode brings us back to the Forrester cabin in Big
Bear, which has always been a dramatic setting for your show. Brooke
gave birth to one of her kids there...
Bell: So much has happened there. I really wanted to pay tribute to
our four remaining original cast members: Susan, Ronn, John and
Katherine. I wanted to write them a stand-alone episode, although it
does fit in with our current plot. I wanted to focus on character, and
mine who these people are and how they've grown over 20 years. More
than anything, this episode is a simultaneous tribute to those four
actors and their characters.

What's the next big "event" on B&B?
Bell: Right now, we're looking forward to the Ridge/Brooke wedding.

How many times have those two been married?
Bell: I've lost track! I don't know. [Laughs] Anyway, this is a wacky,
crazy, snowy night at the Big Bear cabin where Ridge and Brooke enjoy
fun and flirtation and Eric and Stephanie do, too. [Veteran soap-opera
scribe] Patrick Mulcahey wrote the dialogue for this episode, which I
think is fun and fresh. He's a great writer. We really wrote this
episode like a little play, rather than worrying about building up to
the next cliffhanger.

As best I can recall, we usually only see one room at the Forrester
cabin. Will we see more this time?
Bell: You'll see exterior shots of the cabin, as well as Eric and
Stephanie doing something in the bedroom that we've never seen them do
in all of these 20 years.

Have sex?
Bell: [Laughs] Among other things! Ridge gets an eyeful, more than he
bargained for.

Uh oh! Will there be clips from past episodes?
Bell: There's some good clips in there! You will also see some great
footage from B&B's very first season. You'll see the moment when
Brooke meets Ridge. You'll also see Stephanie sizing up Brooke for the
very first time, when Brooke was catering a Forrester party.

Ooh, I love clips from when Stephanie was blonde. It reminds us how
long we've been watching when we recall the characters' various looks
from over the years.
Bell: Well, there's a lot of that! You'll really like this episode...
We're also gearing up for our Australian location shoot. I'm also very
excited about the addition of Eileen Davidson to our cast. Kyle Lowder
[who plays the new Rick] has already brought something to the show. It
will be a wonderful year for Mackenzie Mauzy (Phoebe). We're also
bringing the Marone family into the fashion business. We had 20 years
of Spectra vs. Forrester. Now it's Forrester Creations vs. Forrester
Originals. There's a lot that's fresh this year, yet we're building
off our familiar foundation.

Let's talk about Ashley Abbott and her secret relationship with one of
the men on B&B's canvas.
Bell: She's in town to create a new fragrance for Forrester Originals,
and it won't be long before she's right in the thick of things with a
very personal, romantic story.

This is totally my own conjecture and I'm probably wrong, but I think
it's Rick. Ashley's been traveling overseas and Rick's been overseas,
too, so perhaps their paths have crossed.
Bell: Well, that could very well be. That would be very good.

I know you can't tell us who Ash's man is. But if I'm right, don't
forget to give me credit for guessing it!
Bell: Right, I've got you on record. [Laughs]

You mentioned Sally Spectra earlier. It's so sad that Darlene Conley
passed away, and the fans have been asking me how B&B will address
that. You recently did a lovely on-air tribute to Darlene, but what
happens to Sally? I'm sure you won't recast.
Bell: No, we're not going to recast the role. For the time being,
Sally is still with us. She is traveling the world and having a ball.
I think that Sally will live forever. I haven't made a final decision,
but for now, Sally is going from one charming, gorgeous hunk to
another and living a dream life.

When other veteran daytime actresses pass away, the soaps often
address it by having the character die peacefully off-screen. After
All My Children actress Fra Heflin died, Erica (Susan Lucci) awoke one
morning to find that her mother, Mona, had died in her sleep.
Bell: Oh, wow. We may do something like that at some point. But
Darlene was famous for her Christmas cards. She would always doctor
photos on her home computer to show her in some sexy pose with a hunk
like Fabio or Mario Lopez. Darlene liked all of her friends in the
world to imagine that she's on a desert island with some hunky man! So
we may just keep that tradition going forever. Wouldn't that be fun?

Brad, I think that's a lovely way to let us think of Sally, instead of
writing her a sad ending.
Bell: That's the plan for now. Our writers have written so many story
options down on paper. At some point, we may play one of them out, but
that's the plan for now.

Switching gears again, what can you tell us about B&B's location shoot
down under?
Bell: Ridge, Brooke, Rick and Phoebe are on a mission to open the
Forrester Originals boutique in Sydney. It's just a regular business
trip, but major, pivotal turning points will happen down in Australia.
It's a trip where people come back in a much different place than when
they arrived.

Since Ridge is Massimo Marone's biological son, it worked out that
Rick isn't Phoebe's uncle anymore, so they are free to date. Hilarious!
Bell: That's one great benefit that came out of [Ridge's paternity
revelation]. There's not a drop of blood between Phoebe and Rick!
She's so darn cute and he's so interesting now that he's back from
living in France. I love their chemistry. I think we have something
special there.

You know, it's funny how B&B fans complain endlessly about your
quasi-incestuous romantic pairings, yet we've been loyally watching
for almost 20 years.
Bell: [Laughs] Yeah, if they're bothered by incest, they better turn
the channel!

Brooke is perhaps the sluttiest woman on daytime. She has slept her
way through the Forrester family  and then some! Yet Brooke isn't
seen as a bad person, because Katherine Kelly Lang plays her in such a
sympathetic way.
Bell: Of course! It is amazing. When we wrote the story where Brooke
slept with her daughter Bridget's husband, Deacon, we wondered, "Have
we put our heroine in a tailspin she can't come out of?" I don't know
how Katherine navigated that story and came out smelling like a rose.

She's fabulous. The mother-daughter stuff with Nick going back and
forth between Brooke and Bridget was tough, though. Is that over?
Bell: Right, that was bad, too. [Laughs] You know, you've gotta follow
your heart. But we've played that out. Brooke and Bridget will not
share a man again.

Until you change your mind when a juicy story idea pops into your head
a few years from now.
Bell: That's right! It was interesting and fascinating to walk on thin
ice, but I feel like we've played that out.

Back to Rick and Phoebe. Isn't it a bit wrong for them to transition
from family to lovers just because they found out they're not related?
Bell: My feeling is they never really lived together; they've had
completely separate lives. And there really is no incest. The big
issue is that Rick is about 10 years older than Phoebe and he was not
only married before, but married to Amber! He is perhaps not in the
right place for dating an 18 year old. So I can certainly understand
Ridge's position that "Rick needs to back off my teenage daughter."

I can see how pairing Phoebe and Rick offers more story possibilities
than putting her with Shane. Speaking of that, the soap mags have
reported that Dax Griffin (Shane) has been "fired," as has William
DeVry (Storm). Is it true you've written them off?
Bell: They've been taken off contract, but they're not necessarily
written off. We'll certainly be seeing Storm and possibly Shane again
as well.

So they're off contract, but not off the show.
Bell: No, I just wrote Storm in a script today.

Anything in the works for Shane?
Bell: Well, I have a storyline completely written for Shane. It's just
a matter of if I'm gonna pull the trigger on it.

So you're in a wait and see mode on Shane?
Bell: Eileen Davidson has such a great new presence on the show as
Ashley Abbott. With 22 minutes, you want to give the audience options
and new flavors, but I don't want to spread it too thin, either.

Just a thought... Shane and Ashley should hook up! Eileen and I
discussed how Ash wasn't getting enough male attention on Y&R.
Bell: Oh, Ashley's going to have someone who's very interested in her.
She needs that.

she get the chance? Maybe not as Casey stops her with his news. What
does he tell Margo? Has he figured out what really happened to his
brother?

Across town, Faith finds Meg's bracelet and decides to keep it. Seems

Looks like the claws are coming out this week. Who's doing battle?
Word is Brooke and Taylor...

More importantly, how will the ladies' catfight turn out? Looks like
Taylor may win this round as she finds herself in quite the
compromising position with the former sailor. What are Taylor and Nick
up to? Oh, just a little strip poker, but who will win and who will be
left without any clothes on?

Meanwhile, Phoebe and Rick go for round two at the Insomnia Café. What
are we talking about? Rumor has it the complicated duo sing another
duet, but what will happen? Predictably, sparks fly, but will they act
on them? That appears to be a yes as Phoebe and Rick share their first

Are Alan and Doris legally husband and wife? Furthermore, is Alan

Later, Doris tries to kick Beth and Lizzie out of the mansion. Will
she succeed? She certainly puts up a good fight, but Beth isn't

everything. What does Beth say and is she telling the truth or running
a con?

As everyone tires to figure out who shot Alan, Alan-Michael enlists
Beth and Alex's help to fight Doris for what is rightfully theirs.
What does he have planned? Will they succeed in keeping Alan's estate
should his wounds turn fatal? Furthermore, is A-M on the up and up?

Across town, Dinah tries to figure out who has cleaned out her bank
account. When she goes to Marina for help, what will the cop come up
with? We hear the determined detective finds something that leads her
to believe the attack on Dinah may be personal, but who would want to
hurt her? Does Dinah know who could be behind the sabotage?

Elsewhere, Josh is shocked by Cassie's actions. What does she do? For
starters, he sees her talking to thin air. Yeah, that'll raise red
flags, but what will she telling him when he confronts her about it?
Will Cassie admit she's been talking to her dead daughter?

In the meantime, Remy becomes a suspect in Alan's shooting. Why is the

As for another Newman, Nick gives Sharon a gift. What does he bestow
upon his ex-wife? All we know is it comes form the heart, but what is
the meaning behind it? Whatever it is, it certainly doesn't sit well
with Phyllis. Did he not get her anything? Perhaps not, but is there
more to Nick's gift to Sharon than meets the eye or is Phyllis letting
her insecurity get the best of her?

Meanwhile, Someone is falsely accused of Carmen's murder. Who gets the
blame laid on them and why? The only thing we can tell you is this

Dear Readers,
Hasn't GH been amazing? The show hyped the flashback, real-time
element of
the Metro Court story -- and it was indeed fresh and inventive -- but
even
without that trick the episodes are brilliant. As wild as the plot is
(explosives, gunfire, hostages), it doesn't overpower the
characterization;
the consequences of the chaos are significant. In the Digest issue on
its
way to you now, we preview Elizabeth finally telling Jason he's the
father
of her baby. "It's safe to say he's shocked," understates Steve
Burton. Get
the scoop in our cover story.... We also have the backstage reaction
to
Stuart Damon's (Alan) dismissal. In addition to being a wonderful
actor,
Damon is beloved by the cast, and they are not happy.... B&B head
honcho
Bradley Bell talks about recruiting Eileen Davidson to play Ashley on
his
show. "My dad would be thrilled by this," he says. Read all about it
in our
news section.

Tales From The Interview
Reporting By Danielle McClure
I recently attended a GL screening of the special episode documenting
the
cast's week-long volunteer effort to rebuild homes in the Gulf Coast.
When
Executive Producer Ellen Wheeler announced that we'd also be watching
additional footage that didn't make the cut (new webisodes are being
added
to www.findyourlight.net each week), I never expected to see copies
of
Digest pop up on the screen! I was amused to see homeowner (and new
GL fan)
Ro Manning, accompanied by Yvonna Wright (Mel), as she diligently
consulted
her copy of our beloved mag while watching GL, in attempt to figure
out what
the heck was going on with Alan and the Lizzie/Jonathan/Tammy
triangle! Like
an actor who blushes at witnessing herself on-screen, I was taken
aback and
then, of course, very pleased to see this elated reader using Digest
as her
go-to GL source!

Reporting By Mara Levinsky
Last week I traipsed to the AMC set to interview Thorsten Kaye (Zach)
for
our news section (as you'll read inside our pages, the identity of
the Satin
Slayer is revealed next week). When I arrived, he was talking hockey
(surprise, surprise) in the hallways with Eden Riegel (Bianca). After
consulting with her about whether he could squeeze a few moments with
me
into his busy schedule, Eden gave him the go-ahead and we sat down in
the
rehearsal hall. I congratulated him on his new baby daughter; he said
thanks, then asked me what I'd brought him. I dug into my purse and
produced
a dollar bill and an iPod Shuffle. (He took the dollar, but only to
pore
over its details -- apparently, he has a fascination with currency.)
Tape
recorders make Thorsten wary, but he did a fantastic job supplying me
with
quotes. As usual, he also did a fantastic job with making me laugh,
as when
he was unable to recall the specifics of a particular story point and
joked
to me, "But aren't you just glad I'm talking to you at all?" The
answer?
Absolutely!

After Thorsten jetted to the set, Walt Willey (Jack) emerged from his
dressing room for a catch-up session. Now, as my co-workers here at
the
Digest know, the zipper on my winter coat has seen better days. To
the point
where to get into my coat, I actually have to climb inside of it, in
a move
I've titled "The March of the Penguins" (as that's what I look like
while
I'm donning the coat). I don't do the March of the Penguins in front
of just
everyone -- I have some pride! -- but Walt and I go back, so I showed
off my
"cool" move to him. After Walt and the AMC publicist discussed the
possibility of buying me a new coat out of mercy, he absconded back
to his
dressing room and emerged with a pair of pliers. "Let's see if I
can't
MacGyver this," he muttered, going to work on my coat. Well, next
thing I
knew, the thing was fixed. He warned me that it might not be a
permanent
solution, but that did nothing to quell my awe at his ingenuity.

Walt doesn't know this yet, but as a result of his work, the zipper
clasp
fell off entirely moments after I left the studio -- and that makes
me love
him all the more. Why? Because now I can forego the zipper entirely,
and
rely on the row of perfectly functioning snaps to keep all snuggled.
My
penguin march is a thing of the past! This makes Walt my hero, but
the enemy
of Photo Assistant Eric Faison, who spent the rest of the day
grumbling
about how he now has to find something new to tease me about. Lucky
for him,
I'm an easy target!

Reporting by Devin Owens
Although I work just a few minutes from the B&B studio, I was having
a tough
time pinning down Alley Mills (Pamela) for a one-on-one interview. My
first
preference in these circumstances, is chatting over lunch but the
actress
and I just couldn't synchronize our schedules. Finally, we decided to
talk
over the phone, which can be disconcerting sometimes when you've
never met
face to face. However, my well-over-an-hour-long conversation was an
exercise in effortless delight. Alley was so down to earth, friendly
and,
best of all, funny that it wasn't long until we were gabbing like old
pals.
At one point, she even put her husband, actor Orson Bean, on the line
so he
could tell me a bawdy -- and very naughty -- joke. Luckily, I didn't
have to
wait long to have a physical introduction with Alley. The very next
day was
the cake-cutting ceremony on the B&B set to celebrate their 5,000th
episode.
I immediately spied Alley and her hubby, approached them and
identified
myself. She gave me a big hug and introduced me to Orson, who
proceeded to
tell me another joke. I'm confident that you'll be able to detect
Alley's
special brand of humor when you read her feature inside the new
Digest.

Reporting by Lori Latusek
I recently chatted with PASSIONS's Heidi Mueller (Kay) and Silvana
Arias
(Paloma) via an old school party line. Okay, it was the two of them
together
on speakerphone and me on the other line, but a good time none the
less.
Although the subject of the show's cancellation was tough on all of
us, the
rest of the convo was very upbeat and highlighted the friendship of
these
young co-stars. It made me think about how many bonds the cast made
through
the last eight years. Some have developed into what I know will be
lifelong
friendships, like Eric Martsolf (Ethan) and Liza Huber (Gwen). There
are
real mother/daughter-style relationships between Lindsay Hartley
(Theresa)
and Eva Tamargo (Pilar), and Nicole Cox (Endora) and Juliet Mills
(Tabitha).
A few romantic relationships, like Ben Masters (Julian) and Tracey
Ross
(Eve), and the one that continued outside of Harmony with Travis
Schuldt
(ex-Ethan) and Natalie Zea (ex-Gwen). And we can't forget about the
marriage
that bloomed on the set between Lindsay and Justin Hartley (ex-Fox).
This
cast has always claimed to be like a family. Having the opportunity
to see
them interact through the years, I can tell you it's the truth. I can
only
hope that when this soap dissolves, the clan remains tight. In
another eight
years, I'm going to crash their family reunion. Anyone with me?

Exclusive: Heather Tom Reacts to Her Emmy Nom
Congrats to Heather Tom (ex-Kelly, One Life to Live; ex-Victoria, The
Young and the Restless). Once again, the lovely two-time Daytime Emmy
winner is a nominee for Outstanding Supporting Actress. Time for
reaction quotes!

TVGuide.com: Were you surprised by this Emmy nod for your work on OLTL?
Heather Tom: It totally came as a surprise. I didn't even know the
nominations were coming out this week. I've been so crazy doing other
stuff that I haven't been paying attention. So I was very pleasantly
surprised [Wednesday] morning when my publicist called me at the crack
of dawn. The sun wasn't even up yet. My cell was ringing, my landline
was ringing and I thought there was an emergency! [Laughs]

TVGuide.com: Did you get up and do a happy dance?
Tom: Yeah, and then I went back to sleep.

TVGuide.com: It's ironic that you and Dan Gauther (ex-Kevin, OLTL) are
both nominated after you two were written off OLTL. Which tapes did
you submit for consideration?
Tom: Actually, we submitted the same episode. I thought Dan did some
really nice work last year, and I was happy he got a nomination. A pat
on the back from our peers is always nice.

TVGuide.com: So which episode was that?
Tom: It was the episode where Kevin ripped the engagement ring off
Kelly's finger  and they break up for the 10,000th time. [Chuckles] I
actually wasn't going to submit that episode for myself because I felt
like it was more Dan's show. But Jackie Van Belle, a producer at One
Life to Live, convinced me.

TVGuide.com: Funny how several of this year's nominees are no longer
employed on their shows. You've been in this position before, right?
Tom: Twice, in fact! The first time I left Y&R, I got a nomination
that year. The second time this happened, I was nominated for Y&R
after I'd left Y&R and gone to One Life.

TVGuide.com: Wow. What's that like?
Tom: Um, a bit awkward. [Laughs] But daytime is such a small community
that everyone roots for each other. We're all at least somewhat
familiar with each others' work. I don't think there's any animosity
when someone gets nominated who's no longer on the show.

TVGuide.com: There are six formidable females in your category. What
do you think of this year's supporting actress race?
Tom: I think it's a pretty strong competition! [Laughs] A lot of
people had really good stories this year, so there was lots to choose
from. I'm proud that I'm in this category with everybody else who's
competing.

TVGuide.com: You're in great company, Heather. What's it like to be up
against a daytime icon like Genie Francis (Laura, General Hospital)?
Tom: I know! And in the supporting category, huh?

TVGuide.com: Do you find it strange that Francis is in the supporting
actress category?
Tom: Not really. She was only back on GH for a month, so I guess that
warrants "supporting." I don't know. I'm not sure about the difference
between lead and supporting. Honestly, I don't think anyone in the
supporting category are truly supporting players. It's one of those
things. But I'm thrilled to be in the same category with Genie
Francis. I think she's fantastic and I've admired her forever. It
should be a fun Emmy night, if nothing else!

TVGuide.com: The Daytime Emmys happen June 15, so we've got three
months of anticipation. Meanwhile, you and your sister, Nicholle Tom,
are doing a new primetime comedy on FOX...
Tom: My sister and I are recurring on David E. Kelley's show The
Wedding Bells as these plastic-surgery twins. Our characters are
fraternal twins, but we feel we are identical twins, and we're
surprised that people can tell us apart. We crash weddings just for
ideas, because we're brides who have been planning our own weddings
for years.

34th Annual Daytime Emmy Nominees List
Good morning, suds fans! Official nominations for the 34th Annual
Daytime Emmys  which is now called the Daytime Entertainment Emmy
Awards  were announced today on CBS' Early Show. Trophies will be

major categories:

Outstanding Drama Series
The Bold and the Beautiful
Guiding Light
One Life to Live
The Young and the Restless

Exactly one year ago this week, we ran our exit interview with Scott
Bailey of CBS' Guiding Light. In typical soap-opera fashion, his
lovelorn character, Sandy Foster, went insane with jealousy and ended
up at the bottom of a cliff. Fortunately, MyNetworkTV has lured this
talented ex-daytimer back into the soap suds as the leading man of its
new telenovela, Saints & Sinners (debuts Wednesday, March 14 at 8
pm/ET). Bailey recently met with TVGuide.com for coffee chatter about
his Light past and his Saintly future.

TVGuide.com: Sandy's story on GL was so odd. You were madly in love
with Tammy, who spurned you because she was having a star-crossed love
affair with her first cousin, Jonathan.
Scott Bailey: Yeah, there were times where I wondered, "What am I
doing?" Sandy was Tammy's knight in shining armor, bringing her
flowers... and yet, she would rather date her cousin!

TVGuide.com: Only on the soaps. Anyway, tell me about Saints & Sinners.
Bailey: It's a modern-day Romeo and Juliet story. Our characters are
subtly named Roman and Julia. [Grins] And instead of the Montagues and
the Capulets, our families are the Martins and the Capshaws. They run
rival hotels in Miami, and we're in love! My mother is played by Maria
Conchita Alonso.

TVGuide.com: Love her!
Bailey: She's great. My father is played by Charlie Shaughnessy, who
was on The Nanny and Days of our Lives. He's a great guy. There's a
bad guy played by Hank Cheyne, who was on Sunset Beach. Nick Stabile,
who's also on our show, was on Sunset, too.

TVGuide.com: Robin Givens also plays a fashion designer who just
happens to be one of your love interests.
Bailey: I think I'm one of her love interests. [Laughs]

TVGuide.com: Givens' rocky relationship with Mike Tyson made her
tabloid fodder. Did you have any trepidation about working with her?
Bailey: You can have preconceptions and judgments about someone you
haven't even met. I was hoping she wasn't a diva. She showed up the
first day and they said, "Scott, this is Robin. Robin, this is Scott.
OK, now Robin, throw him down, tie him up and take off all your
clothes!" To her credit, she was a sport and she just went for it in
that rehearsal. We had fun, Robin and I. She's gorgeous.

TVGuide.com: Tell me a bit about your character, Roman.
Bailey: He's a pretty good guy, but he's passionate and fiery. I get
into fights and beat a couple of guys up. On Saints & Sinners, he's
mostly a saint, but a little bit of a sinner.

TVGuide.com: I usually hear from actors that making these telenovelas
is hard work. True?
Bailey: I loved flying by the seat of my pants for four months. There
were times I'd be shooting on three locations in one day. I'd shoot
scenes on a beach, then go to a church and a warehouse. I changed
clothes 18 times in a day. It was a challenge on many levels, but it
was great.

TVGuide.com: Sorry to be a Debbie Downer, but your show and American
Heiress are the last two telenovelas MyNetworkTV will broadcast.
Because of low ratings, they're abandoning scripted series and
focusing on reality TV.
Bailey: Really? Well, no one has seen our show yet! So if it turns
around and they do more telenovelas, then you'll know that it was
because of us. [Laughs] If you like soaps, we have all the basic
staples. There's drama, beautiful people, and it's filmed beautifully.
These talented people made the show on only $150,000 an episode, which
is crazy. We were shooting with all these constraints, which forced us
to be creative.

TVGuide.com: Ever think it's odd how soaps are often mocked, yet
people think it's perfectly fine to watch frothy reality shows like
American Idol, Top Model and The Bachelor?
Bailey: They don't realize the talent on the soaps. On Guiding Light,
Kim Zimmer (Reva Shayne) and Robert Newman (Joshua Lewis) do this
amazing emotional stuff in one take. They have so much pressure and
constraints, and they make it work every day. Just before a scene, Kim
and I would be laughing and talking. Then they'd count down  "three,
two, one"  and she'd turn to me with tears in her eyes! It's a skill
she has from years of working at it.

TVGuide.com: In our last interview, you said somebody warned you that
dating in L.A. is like swallowing tacks. Is it?
Bailey: [Smiles] I remember that. Los Angeles isn't bad. I think I
skipped the whole "swallowing tacks" part. I have fun. I'm doing alright.

TVGuide.com: Anything else you want to update folks on?
Bailey: Please tell them that I miss the fans of Guiding Light.
They're unbelievably warm, even though I played a psycho. They still
sometimes come up and go "Hey, Sandy!" and hug me. I hope that some of
them watch me on Saints & Sinners, and that they really like it.

Dear Readers,
The daytime world is always abuzz with rumors. It's our job to sort
out fact
from fiction, and in the new issue, we checked out some of soaps'
juiciest
gossip. We can report that several high-profile exits are not greatly
exaggerated: AMC's Alexa Havins (Babe) and real-life husband Justin
Bruening
(Jaime) appear ready to fly the coop this summer, and ATWT's Grayson
McCouch
(Dusty) has landed a pilot that will mean his exit from Oakdale if it
gets
picked up. For more scoop, check out the late-breaking news
section.... Our
shrinking violet (ha) opinion columnist, Carolyn Hinsey, manages to
work THE
MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW into her column this week, as well as why she
loved a
certain ad for garbage bags that aired during ATWT. Leave it to
Carolyn to
segue from Hefty to Ted Baxter -- see how she does it in It's Only My
Opinion.

Tales From The Interview
Reporting By Jennifer Lenhart

Since we couldn't really coordinate our schedules for lunch, my
interview
with Ewa da Cruz (Vienna, ATWT) was scheduled to take place at the
ATWT
studio, during a somewhat goofy day there (look for a "My Set Visit"
in an
upcoming issue). My first contact was Trent Dawson (Henry), who
greeted me
in the lobby and told me the correct pronunciation of her name (I was
saying
"Eve-a," but it's more like "Eh-va"), and provided the helpful detail
that
Henry and Vienna were having constant sex. Frankly, I wasn't sure
what to
expect from the actress, because every other time I've discussed her
with
anyone remotely connected with ATWT, inevitably they get carried away
talking about how stunningly gorgeous she is -- more than one co-star
has
called it an "alien" beauty. So I figured she must have modeled at
some
point, and I was right: She did some stuff in her native Norway and
mostly
found the work intolerably boring. The most surprising thing about
that? She
was often told to lose weight and -- when she didn't -- she was only
hired
as the "healthy," "sporty" girl. Find out more about da Cruz in our
issue on
stands 3/20.

Reporting By Mara Levinsky

Interviewing Alicia Minshew (Kendall) is never a dull experience. She
was
one of the first AMC stars I ever profiled, back in 2002; we met at a
funky
eatery not far from where she used to live and by the end of our time
together, we were howling with laughter (and splitting one of the
most
indulgent pieces of chocolate cake I've ever had, which still comes
up in
conversation between us). It has been a true pleasure to watch her
come into
her own on the show and become one of its most valued players -- and
to
watch her develop and unfold as a person, as well. Her boyfriend,
Richie, is
one of the kindest guys I've ever met, and she credits him with
bringing
calm into her very busy life. I don't know that I've ever seen her as
centered and content as she was when we found a quiet corner in the
AMC
studio to catch up for the feature you'll find in this week's issue --
but
her signature sass and silliness hasn't gone anywhere. I will
remember this
interview as being extremely hard to pull myself away from -- I could
have
sat there and snacked and gossiped all day! I hope our delightful
afternoon
together translates into an interview her many fans will enjoy.

The Water Cooler
Ever wonder what Digest editors talk about in the halls? Here's
what's on
our minds this week.

Elaine G. Flores: Unlike most soap enthusiasts, who just hang in
there no
matter what, my allegiance for a certain soap comes and goes,
depending on
the current plots or a specific couple. My dear friend Geri has been
addicted to AMC for decades and even when it's not living up to her
expectations, she patiently waits for the next stellar story. Geri
thinks
it's odd that I can be such a Runaround Sue with my shows. B&B was my
fave
when Thorne was at odds with the Forresters and went to work with
Spectra. I
was all about OLTL when Nash and Tess were in New York. Lately, I've
gotten
really hooked on ATWT (as I was when Rose died at the altar, one of
my
favorite ever moments). I guess Jen Lenhart's zeal has rubbed off on
me
because of the way she promotes "her" show. I love the way the
Lily/Faith
body-image story is playing out. I didn't think I'd like it when I
first
caught wind of the tale, but it's being told in a smart, relatable
way. I
adore Henry and Vienna. (How cool is it to find out that long-
suffering,
"just-a-friend" Henry is a god between the sheets?) I usually don't
care for
soap kids, I just don't do the precocious moppet thing, but I am
really
interested when surly Faith or fresh-as-can-be Parker are on the
screen. I
hate that Emily, a professional journalist, has become a call girl.
Yeah,
the pay isn't great in this business, but come on! Yet, I find myself
engrossed in her storyline, so I chalk that up to actress Kelley
Menighan
Hensley's portrayal. And I'm always happy to see Robin Mattson
(Cheri) as
the bad girl. I still remember her as crazy Heather on GH way back
when. I'm
enjoying Austin Peck as (Brad) and the way the character's a
lunkhead, but a
loveable lunkhead. I'm lucky enough to get paid for watching soaps
all day,
but I'm really stoked when a show is so good, I'd watch for free.

Style File

For a pretty pout AMC's Melissa Claire Egan (Annie) puckers up to
Lancome
lip-glosses. She also likes Trish McEvoy products. "I use her bronzer
and
all of her eye shadows and her brushes," says Egan.

Type Set

Soap fans are a vocal bunch -- see what fellow viewers are saying
about
their shows.
"I am enjoying this developing friendship between OLTL's Miles and
Natalie.
There is definitely some great chemistry between David Chisum and
Melissa
Archer, and the friendly conversations between Natalie and Miles have
a nice
vibe to them. They both need a friend right now. I would love to see
this
brand new friendship develop into something more, and maybe Miles can
give
John a run for his money where Natalie is concerned."

As you'll see in the new Digest, DAYS has quite a style challenge on
their
hands. Judi Evans, who just exited as flashy Bonnie is coming right
back to
Salem as the far more tasteful Adrienne, the role she played from
1986-91.
Now the show has to make her look more Adrienne than Bonnie. Here's a
look

SOAP OPERA WEEKLY
Kindly e-mailed to me by Cyra.

GL Scoop

Guiding Light's Kim Zimmer has had her screentime significantly
reduced since Reva beat cancer and Jonathan (Tom Pelphrey) beat town.
"I don't know if it's that they can't afford me or they're pissed off
at me or what, but it was no problem getting two weeks vacation," says
Zimmer, who called from her trip to Los Angeles to chat about the Emmy
nominations. "I've been working maybe one or two days a week, which is
fine with me. Whatever."

In other GL news, Crystal Chappell's (Olivia) contract is coming up.
"I'm into the last six months of my deal," reports Chappell. "But six
months to me is a long way off and I don't know what Guiding Light's
intentions are. So it's one of those things where you're just having a
relationship and everything is fine."

GL'S JOSH IS GONE

Josh's plan to cover for Cassie backfires on Guiding Light when he
gets hard time for shooting Alan.

Reva puts the final nail in Josh's coffin when she's asked on the
stand if she believes Josh could have shot Alan. "She says yes,
because Josh asked her to implicate him," explains Robert Newman. "In
spite of her instincts to protect Josh, this is what he wants her to
do and she does it.

Things start to look up for Josh when Beth drops the bombshell that
Alan Michael was walking(at Towers) the night Alan was shot. But even
that confession isn't enough to save Josh. "You would think it would,
sighs Newman. "There are several things that happen during the trial
that he thinks will give him a fair shot at not being sentenced to
prison. But Doris is behind the scenes pulling strings>"

And she's out for blood. "He gets sentenced to 15 years in prison!"
gasps Newman. "Everybody's blown away. Josh thought he was spending a
couple of years in some Country Club prison, so it's devastating.

So devasting that he tries to call off his engagement to Cassie. "He
sees that this will now consume her life," explains Newman, that she
will spend every minute worring about him and not get on with her life.

Josh is right, After the sentencing Cassie concocts a wild plan to
clear her fiance--and capture the culprit.

Carolyn's Corner : Dinah Storyline

Carolyn: Is this bad guy Cyrus going to ruin Dinah's wedding this week?
Gina: He's messing with everything she's worked hard for. He blames
her for sending him to prison. He says if she doesn't cooperate with
him, he will make her life a living hell.

Carolyn: What does he want?
Gina: Money. That's why she's been running around town. She asked her
mother for it but she didn't have it. But then he comes up with this
{troubling} information on Mallet, which of course Dinah doesn't
believe. But it turns out it's true.

Carolyn: I know it's a soap opera but why doesn't Dinah just go to
Mallet and say "Hey did you do all those terrible things? Because this
guy is blackmailing me.
Gina: It's so true, right? Why doesn't she just get it over with? I
think because she's always had Mallet clean up her mess. She wants to
try to do this herself. Cyrus has got a gun to her head. Basically
saying "I will expose everything that you've done that's horrible.
That isn't that bad because Mallet seems to know everything but it's
going to screw up Mallet's reputation. Now he has stuff on Mallet, so
he can ruin Mallet and Dinah. So she's trying to protect Mallet and
herself and go forward with her marriage.

Carolyn: How does that go?
Gina: Well, Dinah makes a choice to give Cyrus something he wants. It
involves Vanessa. She has to do something unethical to keep Cyrus from
blowing it up for her right now.

Carolyn: How's the wedding?
Gina: It's sweet. It's romantic. It's high drama in the sense that she
has this one face for Mallet like "Oh, honey I'm excited to get
married. This is going to be wonderful. Let me get my dress. But
underneath it there is such emotion. There are a few scenes with Cyrus
where we don't expect to see him on this beautiful day, but he
slithers in somehow. There's a lot of confict. It's a very full day. I
must have had 65 pages. It was the most work I've had in all my
history of daytime. At first I thought it was a bit inhumane, but it
was full of voice-overs, similar to my first special episode, which
was very special.

Carolyn: How's the dress?
Gina: The dress is beautiful. It's very simple, but it fishtails out.
It's something that I would life for my own wedding.

Carolyn: Tell them to put it on the side and not sell it.
Gina: I know! I know where they got it. I went to a big warehouse of
wedding gowns and brides walk around in their socks trying these big
gowns on. It's really funny the way they do it.

Carolyn: Any funny moments?
Gina: Yeah, it's really good. Her mother walks in and I do a little
monologue where I'm by myself and I say it's pretty courageous what I
did and I can't believe I did it. There's another physical moment when
she walks in. It's a very real moment, so it will be fun for the
audience to check it out. The colors of Dinah are so great because you
can do whatever you want with her. That's one reason why I stay and I
still play her, because she's so interesting.

Carolyn: So maybe you'll decide to stay instead of going to play
Brenda on GH or Kelly on OLTL?
Gina: I'm negotiating to see whether I'm staying or going. Dinah means
a tremendous amount to me. I feel proud of what I've done with her and
what she's done for me, too. We'll see. I'm very happy on the East
Coast, but I'm in my prime. I'm young. I want to grow. I want to make
the right decision.

Carolyn: I think it might confuse fans to have you playing Brenda
fighting with Laura Wright (Carly,ex-Cassie, GL ) over Sonny.
Gina: I know! My God, could you imagine?!

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

Reva takes the stand in her ex-husband Josh's trial today on "Guiding
Light," but will she lie on the stand like he asked?

"The whole thing is really difficult for Reva because in her heart of
hearts, she knows there is no way Josh is capable of killing another
human being," says Kim Zimmer, who plays Reva. "And she can't believe
Josh is doing this for Cassie."

Josh confessed to shooting Alan to protect his fragile fiancee Cassie
- who also happens to be Reva's sister.

"She confronts him with that," says Zimmer. "She says, 'You're doing
this to protect Cassie and [her son] RJ, but what about our kids? Are
you even thinking about Marah and Shayne?' His argument, of course, is
that they're older. They can take care of themselves. They don't need
him. She doesn't like the fact that he's doing this. As the story
progresses, you'll see Reva getting more and more annoyed."

Annoyed enough to put suspicion back on her sister?

"When Josh asks her to make him look guilty, as difficult as it is for
her, she tries to do what will serve him best," says Zimmer. "So she
recants her statement that there's no way he could have pulled the
trigger and says, 'I know that's what I said, but now I do think he
could have done it.' The assistant D.A. pursues that, and it looks
like Josh is indeed guilty."

But just when all looks lost, new evidence is presented that makes
Alan's son, Alan-Michael, look guilty because, as viewers know, he has
been faking his paralysis.

"Alan-Michael could have actually gotten out of his wheelchair and
gone and shot Alan," Zimmer says. (Alan was shot at his own wedding
reception.) "The judge basically says [of Josh], 'You're guilty
anyway' and the world comes crashing down again. He's convicted."

As is always the case with soap trials, the person convicted is never
the one who did it. But for now, Josh will languish in jail so that
the person they all think did it - a medicated Cassie - won't have to.

"Reva is not okay with that," says Zimmer. "Cassie has no idea what
Reva and Josh meant to each other, so Reva's going to remind her.
Isn't it more interesting to show the colors of how awkward this is
for everyone? I'm going to look like a big pregnant dog, but I don't
care. Reva is going to take advantage of this."

GUIDING LIGHT: Ava moved out of the Spaulding mansion after finding
out Alan-Michael was faking his paralysis. Josh was found guilty of
shooting Alan. Reva administered a risky drug that could awaken Alan
from his comatose state. Daisy fantasized about Gus, feeling that
Harley didn't deserve him. Coop promised to take a thrilled Ashlee out
to the movies. Cyrus ordered Dinah to recover the jewels hidden at the
police station. Watch For: Mallet proposes to Dinah. Beth continues to
fake her pregnancy in front of Rick

Dear Readers,
It's not what Patrick/Robin fans have been waiting for, but there's
more to

scenario in which Robin feels she has to convince Patrick she has
fallen out
of love with him. Get the story in the latest Digest.... You'll also

Tales From The Interview
Reporting By Lauren FLynn

I was thrilled to start covering ONE LIFE TO LIVE because it's long
been one
of my faves, but imagine my excitement when I found out that my first
interview would be with Hillary B. Smith (Nora)! Not only is Smith an
accomplished actress (she played ATWT's Margo in the '80s and won an
Outstanding Lead Actress Emmy for her portrayal of Nora in 1994), but
she is
known for being outspoken when it comes to her characters' storylines
and as
quick-witted as legal eagle Nora. Could I keep up? Well, when Smith
called,
she couldn't have been nicer and more entertaining, regaling me with
stories
of playing comatose for six months, as well as being frank about the
contract negotiations that took place during that time. Then came
news that
ALL MY CHILDREN vet Mark LaMura (ex-Mark Dalton), who played Erica
Kane's
drug-addled brother in the '70s and '80s, would be portraying a
recurring
character on OLTL! What was supposed to be a five-minute Q&A on his
decision
to return to daytime became a lengthy and candid conversation, during
which
LaMura told me about his recent experience on Broadway and revealed
that
he'd actually read for the role of Phil Brent on AMC with Robin
Strasser
(ex-Christina; Dorian, OLTL). What could possibly make my week
complete? The
Emmy nominations, of course! Even though Dan Gauthier (ex-Kevin) and
Heather
Tom (ex-Kelly) are no longer on OLTL, they were happy to speak with
Digest
about their exciting Supporting Actor and Actress nominations, as
well as
former co-star Renee Goldsberry's (Evangeline) Supporting Actress
nod. If I
didn't say it enough during the interviews, these actors' nominations
are
much deserved.

Reporting By Tom Stacy

This week, my co-worker Devin Owens and I celebrate 10 years as the
West
Coast go-to guys here at Digest, and we've gotten pretty nostalgic
during
the past week here in the Los Angeles office. We've been trading lots
of
amusing stories from our days of yore, when Devin was hired as our
receptionist and I covered daytime's newest soap, PORT CHARLES. My
first
interview for the magazine was PC's irascible star, the one and only
Kin
Shriner (Scott) and the Port Charles fixture is the subject of my
latest
profile, which hits the newsstands next week. Here it is, a decade
later,
and Shriner and I were both sitting at the same table at the same
restaurant
(Bel Air's Fabrocini's) talking about the same character. Sadly (for
me),
Shriner looks exactly the same while I do look like I aged ten years.
However, one thing hadn't changed an iota.... The guy is seriously
funny and
has truly earned the nickname bestowed on him by his co-stars as "The
King
of Quips." You'll see what they mean when you check out the latest
issue of
Digest. And yes, in case you were wondering, Devin and I are
accepting
gifts. Tin is the traditional 10th anniversary gift while its modern
counterpart is diamond jewelry. Ha!

As the author of The Q Guide to Soap Operas, I am often interviewed as
an expert about queer characters on the daytime soaps.

Whenever I speak on that topic, I tell 'em As the World Turns' Luke
Snyder  as played by Daytime Emmy nominee Van Hansis  is the most
realistic, sympathetic gay male character ever to appear on an
afternoon sudser. Luke reminds me so much of myself as a teenager. As
much as soaps are about fantasy and drama, you also like to see
reflections of your lives that you can relate to, dontcha? Me, too.

The only thing ATWT could do better with the Luke character is to let
him actually date somebody. This summer, the CBS soap will finally
press ahead with that.

On Thursday, May 31, the tall, dark and handsome Jake Silbermann
debuts as Noah Mayer, a new intern who will be working at WOAK with
Luke and Maddie. Expect sparks to fly between Luke and Noah. Can't wait!

Decision Time! Young and Restless Stud Stays in Genoa City
Good news! Joshua Morrow, who stars as Nicholas Newman on The Young
and the Restless, has inked a new longterm contract with the CBS
sudser. "I'm happy to know where I'm going to be for the next five
years," Morrow confirmed in a statement.

Morrow joined Y&R at age 19 back in 1994. While other soap studs try
ditching the daytime suds for high falutin' careers in primetime TV
and films, he likes his steady job. "For me, it's all about staying
home with my family," Morrow explained. "I love being able to take my
kids to school and pick them up afterwards most days."

Hot and humble. FYI, I listed Morrow among the "Top 10 Soap Hunks" in
my recently-published book, The Q Guide to Soap Operas. Can you think
of a more deserving dude?

Billy Warlock Joins The Young and the Restless in May
This just in... Billy Warlock is back in the daytime suds! The former
Baywatcher joins The Young and the Restless on Monday, May 7. He will
play Ben Hollander, Jack Abbott's new campaign manager in Y&R's
fictional race for the Wisconsin state senate.

The sexy Mr. Warlock is beloved by soap fans for his roles as Frankie
Brady on Days of our Lives and A.J. Quartermaine on General Hospital.
He also happens to be married to my girl Julie Pinson (Billie, Days).
Talk about living a charmed life!

In related Y&R news, Nia Peeples (ex-Carla, GH) has been cast as Nikki
Newman's campaign manager in the senate race. Peeples is probably best
known from Fame  the '80s TV series inspired by the classic film.

Another World Cancelled... AGAIN?!
SOAPnet has decided to discontinue its daily reruns of classic sudser
Another World.

AW ran for 35 years on NBC and was cancelled in 1999. Back in July
2003, SOAPnet began rerunning AW episodes from 1987. The cabler is
currently airing episodes from 1991. FYI, the last AW rerun will air
on April 6, 2007.

"The network is proud to have enabled fans the chance to reconnect
with the series for a second time," SOAPnet's spokesperson tells
TVGuide.com.

On April 9, SOAPnet begins airing reruns of One Tree Hill and The O.C.
in the afternoon. By the way, ABC Family'sFalcon Beach will also air
same-week reruns on SOAPnet during its second season. (Meaning if you
miss Beach on Monday night, SOAPnet airs the same episode again the
following Saturday.)

One Tree Hill reruns will occupy AW's former timeslot at 1 pm ET/PT
daily. SOAPnet's daily reruns of half-hour sudser Ryan's Hope are
bumped, too, but not discontinued altogether. Two episodes of RH will
air every Sunday from 6-7 am ET/PT.

This suds fan is sad to see Another World go off the air yet again. It
was such a treat to relive Anne Heche's early days as twin
troublemakers Vicky and Marley! But business is business, my friends.
In the first quarter of 2007 to date, SOAPnet's AW reruns were
averaging a 0.0 Nielsen rating among women 18-49. That's not good.

Dear Readers,
Y&R's Phyllis thought she was being clever blackmailing Sharon and
Brad
about their affair, but while she was willing (hoping?) to cause
humiliation
and even divorce, she never wanted her scheme to result in death. But
that's
what happens next week, and you can read all about it in your new
Digest....
You can also read about Alan's shooter being revealed on GL, which
finally
happens next week. Alan wakes up, remembers who did it, and behaves
in a way
that shocks everyone. Sounds can't-miss.... And Billy Warlock, so
adorable
as Frankie on DAYS, is jumping to Y&R. He'll be involved in Jack's
political
campaign, which seems to get messier by the minute! Get the details
in your
new issue.

Tales From The Interview
Reporting By Jennifer Lenhart

I didn't write the interview with GL's Kim Zimmer (Reva) in our new
issue,
but I was assigned to edit the piece, written by Adam Kelley, a
former
Digest senior editor who now occasionally still does freelance work
for the
magazine. Adam is somewhat of a legend around these parts (or at
least he
likes to think he is) for his years of beautifully written interviews
and
excellent GL coverage. Since he's actually a lawyer these days, he
can pick
and choose his assignments, but he's always raved about how much fun
it is
to interview Zimmer, which is why we offered him this piece. When he
finished writing it, he called and admitted it was pretty long, so I
suggested that he just turn it in and we would trim it later, if
necessary.
But when I and others actually read it, it became clear that not a
word
would be touched -- only Adam could end up finagling an unheard-of
six pages
for a feature interview (the normal length is no more than four)!
That's
quite a feat for an article on an actress who -- while always
fabulously
candid and cool -- has done plenty of press over the years. Upon
hearing
that his story was getting such a huge amount of space, Adam, of
course,
grumbled that he could have put in some other stuff that he cut, like
the
fact that Zimmer, having been on both THE DOCTORS and SANTA BARBARA,
isn't
too worried about GL getting cancelled. But even without that little
tidbit,
I'm not exaggerating when I say this is probably one of the most
interesting
articles we've ever run in the magazine, the perfect meeting of
interviewer
and subject. I'd recommend checking it out, even if you don't watch
GL --
it's a fascinating profile of a veteran soap actress who isn't afraid
to
speak her mind about aging, Emmys, contract negotiations and the
daytime
industry in general.

The Water Cooler
Ever wonder what Digest editors talk about in the halls? Here's
what's on
our minds this week.

Elaine G. Flores: Digest's latest cover story features Drucilla's Y&R
exit
and I'm so going to miss Victoria Rowell's portrayal of Dru. Your
classic
soap heroines can be so virtuous, long-suffering, patient,
zzzzzzzz.... I've
always preferred a good bad girl, especially if she's a wee bit
cuckoo, but
not full-on insane. OLTL's Dorian, DAYS's Sami and GH's Tracy Q
spring to
mind. I enjoyed Dru's strength, self-confidence, ability to stand up
for
herself and acidity, especially during those priceless squabbles with
equally feisty Phyllis. Then there was the endless fashion parade,
like the
hearing to determine Dru's sanity, where she took the stand in a
theatrical
ensemble that conjured up a Lana Turner film. It didn't boost Dru's
sanity
factor, but my, it was fabulous. Since Rowell is leaving of her own
volition, perhaps Y&R will recast. I'm torn; I'd hate Genoa City to
be
Dru-free, but I just hope if she does return with a new face, she
hangs on
to her edge and wardrobe.

Danielle McClure: I guess one of the few pitfalls of working at
Digest is
finding myself unable to stop thinking about soaps, long after office
hours
are over. I always seem to be unknowingly incorporating soap-speak
into my
lexicon while out with friends. I'll admit I've been called out a few
times
for using the term "interloper," much to my friends' amusement. I
also find
myself suddenly singing a tune from one of the many catchy songs
featured on
GL (especially when Ashlee sang "The Wedding Song" at Doris and
Alan's
nups). And if I'm flipping through the TV channels at night and
happen to
come across that DanActive yogurt commercial featuring Bonnie
Dennison
(Daisy, GL) or that Olive Garden commercial with Nicole Forester
(Cassie,
GL), I always squeal to my boyfriend as I emphatically wave the
universal
remote at the screen, "She's on GUIDING LIGHT!" I just can't help it;
I've
got soaps on the brain.

Julie Pinson (Billie, DAYS) plays up her pretty pout with Pretty Girl

I am loving this storyline with Robin and Nikolas. I think Kimberly
McCullough and Tyler Christopher look fabulous together, and that
Robin and
Nikolas would make an ideal romantic couple. I really hope that GH
pursues a
Robin/Nikolas romance. I wanted one all the way back in 1998 and was
disappointed when it never materialized. Better late than never!

Days of our Lives Veteran Dead at 76
Sad news, suds fans: Edward Mallory  who played Dr. Bill Horton on
NBC's Days of our Lives from 1966 to 1980  died on Wednesday, April
4. The 76-year-old former actor passed away in a Pennsylvania hospital
after a long illness. His funeral will be held on Tuesday, April 10,
in Cumberland, Maryland.

Back in the 1960s, Mallory did several guest spots on TV series like
Bewitched and The Munsters before Ted Corday cast him as Bill Reilly
on the short-lived NBC sudser Morning Star. The Cordays later cast him
on Days after that show's cancellation.

Mallory last appeared on Days in the early '90s. By that time, he had
left acting and become a soap director. He helmed for several shows
including Days, All My Children, General Hospital, The Young and the
Restless, Rituals and Generations. He also produced programming for
the A&E network, including biographies of gossip queen Hedda Hopper
and JFK's father, Joseph P. Kennedy.

Later in life, Mallory taught as an artist in residence in the mass
communications department at Frostburg State University in Maryland.

The daytime vet is survived by wife Suzanne Zenor, who actually played
his Days daughter-in-law, Margo Horton, from 1977 to 1980. He also had
an actor son, John Mallory Asher, and a grandson, Evan.

Soap Scum Roscoe Born Finds Wicked New Role
Veteran villain Roscoe Born has signed on for a brief stint at NBC's
Passions. He first airs Monday, April 23.

"I'm doing three episodes," Born tells TVGuide.com. "I have no name
other than Head Warden. Luis and Miguel come into the prison in
shackles. I taunt them and torment them. I don't care that they're
framed for crimes they didn't commit. They're in my prison, so I can
do with them as I please! 'No mercy' is my motto."

Born is perhaps best known to soap fans as criminally-insane cult
leader Mitch Laurence on One Life to Live. The ABC sudser recently
introduced Miles Laurence, a brother we never knew Mitch had. "I heard
about that," Born says. "It's possible the show could call me for
this, but maybe the name Mitch Laurence is enough to establish that
Miles character. Mitch died recently. He was dead once before in 1986,
so I don't see how he could come back from the dead twice. But Mitch
was calling himself Lazarus for awhile there..."

Most recently, Born played lowlife Tom Fisher on The Young and the
Restless. He was a more sympathetic sleaze than Mitch, but in the end,
"Terrible Tom" was gunned down.

While Born knows he's really good at being bad, he says: "Frankly, I
would like to play a part that has more shades of gray, so I can stay
on a show. If you remember, I played Robert Barr on Santa Barbara. The
guy was a ruthless businessman, but he loved Eden and then fell in
love with her sister, Kelly. He did have genuine emotions; he had
remorse for his ruthlessness and he was capable of love. And way back
on Ryan's Hope, I played Joe Novak, a Mafia guy who was sympathetic.

"The ironic thing is that when I was younger, I only wanted short-term
contracts," he adds with a laugh. "But now I have a nine-year-old
daughter and bills to pay. I'd like to do a three or four year run on
a soap. I'd rather play a sociopath than a murdering psychopath. I
can't be so bad that they have to kill me off in a few months!

American Idol Rocker Lands Bold and Beautiful New Job
As first reported in TV Guide's April 2 issue, The Bold and the
Beautiful has cast Constantine Maroulis for a summer music storyline.
The breakout star from American Idol's fourth season will take an

(Mackenzie Mauzy). He first airs in mid-May.

Here's another tasty TV Guide tease: As B&B chief Bradley Bell told
the magazine, "Constantine isn't the only Idol we'll bring to the show
this summer."

BACKSTAGE SHAKE-UPS!

Bloodbath at GL (pic of Kim Zimmer)

Deal! (pic of Gina Tognoni, she's staying at GL)

More about the shakeup:
Posted by freda13 @ PGP Board

The cuts continue at Guiding Light - this time four writers are out.
Penelope Koechl, Royal Miller, David Smilow and Brett Staneart have
all been let go, according to show sources.

"Their work will be absorbed by the rest of the team," says an
insider. GL is up for renewal this summer, so the last-minute
belt-tightening to ensure that it's picked up. When asked the
backstage slashings, a show rep responded, " We don't comment on
contracts."

Kim Zimmer (Reva) is doing her best behind the scenes to jazz up her
scripts and storyline, which, as viewers know, has been somewhat
lacking in direction. "I've managed to find a creative way for me to
deal with those problems through my approach to the character now,"
Zimmer explains, acknowledging that she's a little restless. "And it's
not subtle, so I'm sure you all will pick it up."

In the meantime, GL might want to borrow one of those fifth-graders
from that new FOX show show- on the March 29 episode, Rick said
"irregardless' to Beth, which of course is not a word.

Revolving Door

STAYING

.GL's Mandy Bruno (Marina).
.GL's Gina Tognoni (Dinah).

Matt confesses to Dinah. What does he tell his stepdaughter?
Apparently it involves him taking money from Vanessa's company without
telling her about it. Why would he do this and why does he spill to
Dinah? Furthermore, what will Dinah do with this information?
Meanwhile, Marina makes a suggestion to Cyrus. What does she want him
to do? Interestingly, she thinks he should take a room at the
boardinghouse, but why? Will he follow her lead and move in next door
to Marina? And just what will happen between them if he does? Across
town, Beth tells Alan she lied about the pregnancy. How will he take
the news of her deception? Will he be furious and want nothing to do
with her, or will Alan overlook her little white lie and keep her in
his life? That remains to be seen, but rumor has it Beth later learns
she really is with child. Since she's been sleeping with Rick in hopes
of passing his child off as Alan's, who exactly is the father?
Elsewhere, Reva visits Josh in jail. How will Cassie's plan to have
Reva partake in conjugal visits go? Probably not the way she wanted as
the exes end up in a kiss. How do the former lovers find themselves in
a lip lock? Is it all part of the plan to make things look convincing,
or is there more going on between Reva and Josh? We're not exactly
sure, but word is Josh tells Cassie he doesn't want her to visit him.
Why does he make this hurtful decision? Does it have to do with his
smooch with Reva or does he reject her for other reasons? Keep up to
date with Josh's predicament this week on Guiding Light

throws him out of the house. Alan finds Doris and promises to keep the

Dear Readers,
Frustrated DAYS fans, the show has heard you loud and clear.
Executive
Producer Ken Corday says as much to Digest, and promises that things
will
change. "Fans turn on the show and they say, 'What happened to 'our
DAYS?' "
acknowledges the exec. "We're suffering from that and the question
is, how
quickly can we fix it?" It will be back to basics -- get the details
in the
new issue.... We also talk about how shows are playing hardball --
and
winning -- when it comes to salaries these days. Actors are being
asked to
take pay cuts as soaps struggle to manage the bottom line, and even
heavy-hitters are finding they don't have the leverage they once did.
Which
star's negotiations went down the the wire, to the point his show
considered
killing the character off? Check your Digest!

Tales From The Interview
Reporting By Devin Owens

Hey, if somebody wanted to name me Sexy Man of any list, I would be
one
happy camper. But not everyone has the same reaction to such an
accolade.
Take B&B's very humble Kyle Lowder (Rick). After Digest named him one
of
daytime's sexiest hunks (duh!), here's how he reacted to the news.

Soap Opera Digest: Congratulations on being one of soaps' sexy men.
Kyle: That's really funny.
Digest: Why?
Kyle: I mean, I really appreciate this, but it embarrasses me.
Digest: Why?
Kyle: Because I'm a dork.
Digest: Do you think working out while singing opera like Rick did is
a
turn-on for women?
Kyle (chuckles): I doubt it. I don't personally stand in front of the
mirror, lift weights and sing at the same time. The only thing I
didn't do
that day was a standing backflip.
Digest: What's your best physical feature?
Kyle (uncomfortable): You really want me to answer this?
Digest: Yes.
Kyle (more uncomfortable): Really?
Digest: Yes.
(There are a few moments of silence, punctuated by an occasional
"uh....")
Digest: How you doing?
Kyle: I don't know what to say.
Digest: Well, then answer this: What physical feature do you get the
most
compliments on.
Kyle: Okay, if you ask that way, I guess I can answer it....
Digest: Shoot.
Kyle: Uh....

Kyle's self-effacing sheepishness was refreshing and fun. And, yes,
he did
answer that last question so be sure to check the new Digest for his
response.

Reporting By Lauren Flynn
On the morning of March 9, ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Forbes March called me
from
his apartment's balcony, screaming, "I AM SOAPS' SEXIEST MAN!" "Nice
to meet
you, too, Forbes," I thought, then quickly learned that the actor who
heats
up our screens as Nash is actually quite modest, though deserving of
his
Sexy Man title. He immediately argued that there are numerous hunks
at OLTL
who are sexier, including Jerry verDorn (Clint), the "trailblazer" of
sexy
men, and on-screen rival Kamar de los Reyes (Antonio). They are sexy,
Forbes, but this is your year. Embrace it! Also deserving of the Sexy
Man
title are eight other actors -- all equally hot, all equally
entertaining.
Check out "The Perfect Nine" in the new issue.

Reporting By Naomi Rabinowitz
I recently had the pleasure of interviewing YOUNG AND RESTLESS's
charming
new hunks Eyal Podell (Adrian), Daniel Goddard (Cane) and Eric
Steinberg (Ji
Min). They had the usual comments about joining an American soap for
the
first time (Goddard was on the Australian drama HOME AND AWAY) --
that the
pace is so fast, that they have so many lines to learn -- but their
perspective was an interesting one given that all have already had
extensive
experience in prime-time television, theater and movies, and all have
lived
in at least two countries. "I think that we have so much
international
experience adds something to our interpretations," mused Steinberg,
who like
Goddard and Podell has been flattered, though a little flummoxed, by
the
amount of fan attention he's suddenly been receiving. "When I was on
ANGEL
for one episode, the fans of that show, who were pretty diehard,
recognized
me and I thought that was cool," explains Podell. "But soap fans are
so
loyal and will come right up to you. I definitely wasn't expecting
that."

They were also surprised by how much interest the press has taken in
them,
especially when questioning them about their families and outside
interests.
Still, they gamely answered my queries about style, hobbies and their
loved
ones' reactions to their racier scenes. Goddard and I, in fact, ended
up
speaking for almost a half hour just on politics and travel. Turns
out he's
an avid photographer who tries to capture man's plight in other
countries.
Not something most would picture his character, Cane, doing. "But
perhaps he
could be a photographer on the show," jokes Goddard.

For more on Podell, Goddard and Steinberg, read the entire interview
in the
new issue.

Style File
Beauty tips from the stars.

Hunter Tylo (Taylor, B&B) swears by virgin coconut oil as an all-
around
beauty treatment. "It's an excellent skin conditioner, hair
conditioner....
It has all kind of benefits," praises the actress, who suggests
looking for
cold-pressed oil at a health food store.

Type Set
Soap fans are a vocal bunch -- see what fellow viewers are saying
about
their shows.

I am really upset about B&B's Brooke & Ridge. Why don't they just let
them
be happy and get married. They won't give them one week of happiness.
I hate
Brooke with Nick, he just does not have the spark. I am thinking
about not
watching the show anymore after 15 years.
C.B., via the Internet

Flashback Photo

Scotty (Kin Shriner, near l.) and Luke's (Anthony Geary) animosity
goes back
to nearly thirty years. Their feuding on GH never goes out of
fashion, but
we can't say the same for these getups from 1982.

In Person
Many versatile past and present soap stars also perform on stage.
Here, fans
weigh in with their reviews.

I was fortunate to see Joe Gallison (formerly Dr. Neil Curtis) of
DAYS OF
OUR LIVES, in The Gin Game in Wilmington, NC last weekend at historic
Thalian Hall. Stellar performance by Joe. Lou Criscuolo (Danny) of
THE EDGE
OF NIGHT fame was the [director]. Lou is also the founder of The
Opera House
Theater Company in Wilmington, NC. Great to see such talent again. If
you
missed it, you missed it.

Last week we asked: When you watch your shows do you view the entire
episode
or just fast-forward to the storylines you like best?
You said:
Yes -- Soaps are like a buffet, you can pick and choose which stories
to
watch.: 45%
No -- I worry that I might be missing something if I skip the
storylines I
don't love as much.: 54%

This week's question: If you go to online message boards, do you like
to
debate about your soap with people who have different opinions or
only bond
with like-minded fans?

Bond -- I have enough differences with my in-person friends; I like
my
online friends to be on the same wavelength.
Debate -- I'm interested in other people's perspectives (so I can try
to
change their minds)!

Dear Readers,
AS THE WORLD TURNS editor Jennifer Lenhart's report on her latest
visit to
the set is observant and funny and fresh. There's a lot of down time
between
tapings, and Jen captures the quirky humor and behind-the-scenes
ribbing
that can get actors through a long day. Check it out in the Digest on
its
way to you now.... From hair to handbags, we get lots of Star Style
questions from readers about what they see on-screen. In the new
issue,
you'll find the scoop on Willow's (DAYS) hair, Tammy's (GL) wedding
dress,
and more. (And keep writing in with those questions!)... Talk about a
win-win situation: When soap vet (12 shows and counting) Roscoe Born
needed
a quick gig to keep up his union life insurance, he called on
PASSIONS. The
show snatched him up to play a sadistic prison warden (watch out,
Luis) for
several episodes, and another hopelessly charismatic, unequivocally
evil
villain is ... born. Harmony wasn't exactly unfamiliar territory for
the
actor. "Years ago, I came across this scene with what appeared to be
an
orangutan," he recalls. "I had never seen anything like that on a
soap and I
couldn't stop watching!" Tune in to PASSIONS starting April 23 to see
Born
stir things up. Your new Digest has the details.... You can also find
out
what's up with the abrupt recast of Antonio on OLTL. Turns out Kamar
de los
Reyes suffered a torn rotator cuff during the taping of last year's
car
crash scenes, and had to go in for surgery this week. His replacement
starts
airing May 16, but de los Reyes promises he'll be back, "sooner than
they
can say my name 10 times fast." SUNSET BEACH fans will remember Randy
Spelling as Sean; industry insiders remember him as a remarkably
down-to-earth, nice guy. Spelling talked to Digest about his new
reality
series, SONS OF HOLLYWOOD, which was taping when his dad, Aaron
Spelling
died. "Getting 5,000 phone calls, having the press call and asking me
how
much was I going to inherit? It was insane," he recalls. The details
are in
your Digest!

Tales From The Interview
Reporting By Tom Stacy

By and large, interviewing actors is fun. Of course there are the
occasional
painful, teeth-extracting exchanges, but for the most part, our
Digest chats
are pretty genial. Case in point is GENERAL HOSPITAL's Steve Burton
(Jason).
Fans who've seen the actor during personal appearances know he's eons
away
from the silent, "Stone Cold" persona he plays on TV. In real life,
he's
never at a loss for a funny story or quip. Take my interview with
with the
actor for our current cover story, in which Jason finds himself
hounded by
the media due to Sam's new job as a TV host. When asked what he did
to
prepare for the scenes of being besieged by the press, Burton
cracked, "Yes,
I did prepare. My homework that I do at night is, anytime we have
scenes
about this, I just think that I have to do an interview with Tom
Stacy and
so I play that. 'Is he in the hallways at GH? Is he out by my car?
Where is
he? What's he doing? What's he up to?' So, thank you, Tom. I
appreciate all
your years of help." Steve, you're most welcome.

Reporting By Jennifer Lenhart
I still remember the day I met Michael Park (Jack) -- he had just
been hired
and I was walking down a hallway at ATWT's old home, the CBS
Broadcast
Center on 57th Street, with Lesli Kay (ex-Molly), when she stopped to
introduce us, which is weird, because she had just started, as well.
Our
first conversation involved the three of us talking about how old we
were,
randomly. (Or not, knowing me.) I was a kid then, and though I had
already
been at Digest for about a year, he still talks about how we grew up
together in the soap business. Take this excerpt from our recent 10th
anniversary interview with him, which might tell you a little bit
about the
both of us:

Me: Your first air date was April 1, 1997, so congratulations on 10
years!
Park: I should say "Congratulations" to you, too, because this is
your tenth
year as well. We started the same year.
Me: It's actually my 11th year.
Park: Bull -- we both started at the same time! 1997!
Me: Nope, I was 1996. I just had an anniversary myself.
Park: Congratulations! I had such high hopes for you, too [laughs].
Me (laughing): Thanks!
Park: You have a really cool job and you go off on vacation to far-
off lands
every year....
Me (interrupting): Yes, this is true. What do you remember about your
first
day?
Park: We had just opened Violet at Playwrights Horizon and the day
after
opening, I couldn't go out and party and I loved that show. I
remember
having to go to bed early and having to get up. I had scenes with
Peter
Parros [ex-Ben] that day and he walked me around the CBS Broadcast
Center
and showed me what was up. And I remember Chris Goutman was
directing. So my
first experience at AS THE WORLD TURNS was with Chris Goutman, and
who of
all people is directing today? Chris Goutman, who is also our
executive
producer, for those people who might read this article on the off
chance
that they want to find out about Michael Park.
Me: You were also a newlywed in 1997.
Park: We were married in 1996, so yes, given the two-year span of
newlywed-dom.
Me: And Laurie was expecting.
Park: We were expecting. Christopher was born in 1998. [Pause] No,
'97.
Me (at the same time): '97.
Park: I'm glad you know this.
Me: It's kind of sad that I do.
Park: See, that's almost insulting! "It's sad that I do."
Me (laughing): Sorry, I don't mean to insult you. But it is sad that
I know
Christopher's birth year better than you do, off the top of my head.
Park: '97! Kathleen was born in 2000. Tell me when Annabelle was
born!
Me: 2003? Is that right?
Park: No. 2004. She's going to be 3.
Me: Close.
Park: Still, see! You can be off by a year.

As you might imagine, it's hard to pin him down for serious
interviews, but
Park sat in his dressing room (with Jesse Soffer, Will, quietly
playing a
video game nearby) and answered all of my anniversary-themed
questions,
including a full timeline of Jack's time in Oakdale, mostly focusing
on his
romantic fumbles. Though Park did have to interrupt the interview to
tape
one quick scene, Soffer stuck around to keep us company, patiently
showing
the publicist how to use all of her guns in Halo 2 while I made fun
of her.
When Park returned, a little freaked out from Jack's first kiss with
Katie
("It's like macking on your sister!" he noted), Austin Peck (Brad)
stopped
by for some gossip and banter, at the end of which Park compared them
both
to slightly different grades of sandpaper, whatever that means, and
we got
back on topic. Read my interview in our issue, on stands April 17.
(And
while there's also a feature on my set visit in the same issue, with
more
Park and videogames, that's actually from a visit a few weeks
before.)

The Water Cooler
Ever wonder what Digest editors talk about in the halls? Here's
what's on
our minds this week.

Elaine G. Flores: I wrote a week or so ago about how much I'd miss
Victoria
Rowell's firecracker performance as Y&R's Drucilla, and I really do
miss her
already. Though I'm still ambivalent about a recast, since it's hard
to
imagine anyone else in the role, I did dream up this scenario: Renee
Jones,
who was let go as DAYS's Lexie, takes over as Dru. When she comes
back, so
does brother-in-law/ex-lover Malcolm. Since it doesn't look like
Shemar
Moore will be back soon, I vote for Jones to be accompanied by her
former
DAYS love interest, hunky Rhasaan Orange, who played Tek. And now
that I'm
on a roll (or is that role?), since Joe Mascolo played Lexie's dad
the
nefarious Stefano DiMera in Salem, his B&B character Massimo Marone
should
crossover to Genoa City as Dru's long-lost pop. I'll be sitting by my
phone
waiting for Y&R to call if they want me to flesh things out. Who is
your
dream recast for a vacant soap role? Tell us at SODSurvey@....

Beauty tips from the stars.

When Adrianne Leon (Colleen, Y&R) wants to get that sun-kissed look,
she
spritzes on SexSymbol Aerotan Instant Temporary Tanning Spray. The
actress
admits that she keeps the tan-in-a-can in her bag "just to instantly
make a
tan." You can look for the product at www.sexyhair.com.

Type Set
Soap fans are a vocal bunch -- see what fellow viewers are saying
about
their shows.

I'm very disappointed that a [contract] decision couldn't be reached
with
Renee Goldsberrry [Evangeline, OLTL]. I watch the show for her and
only her.
She is a most integral part of this cast. Her chemistry with Michael
Easton
[John], and Trevor St. John [Todd] is unsurpassed. I have hope that
perhaps
it is not too late, and a deal can be made. OLTL needs her, and us.

Morris
spotted the future soap star and helped Marston land commerical work.

How well did you pay attention to recent episodes?

AMC: How old did Di tell Aidan she was when she got off the bus in
New York
City?

Q. Is B&B's Eileen Davidson the only actress to play Ashley Abbott?
A. No, though Davidson created the role on Y&R in 1982, it was played
by
Brenda Epperson Doumani (1989-96) and Shari Shattuck (1996-99).

Exclusive Q&A: Eric Braeden (Victor, The Young and the Restless)

In February 2006, TVGuide.com was first to report Eric Braeden's plans
to make "a revenge picture." Now the Young and the Restless star's
cinematic dream finally is coming true. Braeden is currently on a
five-week break from Y&R to shoot his indie Western, The Man Who Came
Back, deep in the heart of Texas. TVGuide.com rang him up to discuss
the film, as well as some pressing soap dish. As always, this
gentleman was nothing if not candid!

TVGuide.com: Congrats on starring in and executive producing your own
movie. Give us a preview of this revenge tale.
Eric Braeden: This takes place in the South in the 1870s after the
Emancipation Proclamation. The bloodiest labor strikes took place on
Southern plantations where former slaves wanted better living
conditions. So that is the historic backdrop. There's a kangaroo court
and I'm railroaded into prison for a murder I've not committed. A
plantation owner and his son are really guilty of the crime of
lynching a man. I make a few attempts to escape and ultimately ride
back into town and take care of business.

TVGuide.com: You've assembled quite a cast.
Braeden: George Kennedy, who was my father on Y&R, plays the
plantation patriarch, and his son is played by James Patrick Stuart.
Billy Zane  we worked together in Titanic  plays a lawyer. Armand
Assante plays the sheriff. Carol Alt plays my wife. And Sean Young
plays a very avaricious woman who tries to seduce me. The legendary
Dick Ziker is our stunt coordinator on the film; he was my stunt
double on The Rat Patrol.

TVGuide.com: Switching to the soaps, I was disappointed not to see you
nominated for a Daytime Emmy for your work in 2006. Your work during
the epilepsy storyline was impressive.
Braeden: (Chuckles) Well, that's a whole different issue. I don't even
want to get into it. When you win an award, it's great. This is
something you really should not take too seriously, trust me.

TVGuide.com: So it doesn't bother you.
Braeden: Sometimes you just shake your head and say, "You must be
kidding me." Years ago, I pulled out of the whole thing and said I
didn't want any part in this circus. Then one of the assistants up in
the [Y&R production] office said, "Oh, you must." So a few years ago,
I started submitting my name again. Honestly, I do not believe in
awards shows. Comparing and choosing a "winner" amongst some very good
performances is nonsense. Some of the categories are ridiculous. It's
like voting for Mr. Potato or Miss Avocado. It's bulls--t!

TVGuide.com: Do you feel this way just about the Daytime Emmys or all
awards shows?
Braeden: I am against awards shows. Marlon Brando was against it.
George C. Scott was against it, and so were a lot of actors. It's
bulls--t! It sells tickets and it's for the women to show off their
cleavage in gowns. The truth is everyone is a winner.

TVGuide.com: You have always been very vocal about your Y&R
storylines. How are you feeling about your current material?
Braeden: I am enjoying it very well. What is essentially attractive
about the Victor Newman character is his extraordinary power. When you
lose that, you lose conflict. He is an archetypal daytime character.
[Y&R's executive producer and head writer] Lynn Marie Latham
understands that and is doing something to rectify that. She's been
slowly building things up to the old conflict. I'm liking it. Being
away for five weeks won't help, but...

TVGuide.com: What explanation will Y&R give for Victor's absence?
Braeden: He is looking for Victor Jr. Victor Jr. is Victor's son with
Hope, and he goes missing.

TVGuide.com: I hear they will cast an older actor to play Victor Jr.
Sounds like another case of SORAS (Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome),
like when your son Nicholas went from a small boy to a horny teenager
in the space of a year.
Braeden: (Laughs) Exactly! I honestly don't know. He should be pretty
old by now. Although they age more rapidly on soaps. I think there is
an injection of growth hormones!

FYI, Braeden temporarily leaves the Y&R canvas at the end of May. No
word yet on his return date. The show's rep declined to comment on
storyline.

I always enjoy chatting with Kate Linder (Esther, YOUNG AND
RESTLESS).
Though she shares little in common with the ditzy maid she portrays
(for one
thing, she has much better fashion sense), like Esther, the actress
is warm
and steadfastly loyal to the soap which she's been on for 25 years.
As we
talked about her quarter century on Y&R, Linder could hardly contain
her
praise and enthusiasm for her show. Being in the same place for such
a long
time hasn't made her jaded at all; if anything, her affection and
love for
her work and the people around her has increased over the years.

Off-screen, Linder is something of a dynamo, working two jobs (she's
also a
flight attendant for United Airlines) and devoting time to several
charities, including the ALS Association, for which she's the
celebrity
spokesperson. In this case, however, she's not merely a "talking
head."
Linder frequently travels to Washington, D.C. to lobby on behalf of
those
stricken with this disease. In fact, it's being able to do extensive
charity
work which Linder most appreciates about her Y&R job. "It's great
that I'm
so visible and that people know who I am," she told me. "I've done my
best
to use [my celebrity status] to give back to the community and make a
difference." She's also a big supporter of daytime, serving on the
Emmy
Awards committee and AFTRA. "I don't feel that soaps get enough
credit, and
it's really difficult work," she said. "I want to help get them the
notice
they deserve."

Read more about Linder and what she calls her real-life "Esther
moment" in
the new issue.

Reporting By Mara Levinsky
I met Bobbie Eakes (Krystal) for lunch at a wonderful eatery near her
Manhattan apartment (though she highly recommended I return for
brunch on a
weekend, where apparently the drinks -- and the fun -- flow freely)
to
conduct her first feature-length interview since just a few months
after she
joined the AMC ranks. Back then, I was struck not only by her warmth
and
candor but by her close ties to B&B, where she'd played Macy on and
off for
11 years. All of those things remained true this time around (she is
still
greatly affected by the loss of her on-screen B&B mom, Darlene
Conley,
ex-Sally, and was set to jet to L.A. that weekend for B&B's 20th
anniversary
bash) but the strength of the bonds she's forged at AMC now stood
out, as
well -- that she cares deeply about the quality of the show and about
the
personal happiness of her friends in both the cast and the crew made
me walk
away thinking what an amazing woman she must be to work with.

And she's funny, too -- did I mention that? She had me howling with
laughter
at many points, including one I can even share! Back in her B&B days,
Eakes
used a day pass at a Crunch gym near the studio and after she worked
out ...
well, I'll let her tell it. "There is one shower in the girls' shower
area
that's visible to people walking around the gym; it's frosted glass,
but you
can actually see the silhouette and it looks into the lobby. [The
staff]
didn't tell me about it and I, of course, picked that shower. I was
like,
'Hmmm, I can kind of see out, but certainly they can't see in!' I was
just
so sure, 'That can't be!' Then, a month later, I was reading in
People
magazine about the Crunch in L.A. with the peekaboo shower. And I
wasn't
doin' the kind of shower I would have been doin' if I'd known I was
on
display [laughs]! I don't think anybody recognized me, but can you
imagine?!"

Survey Says

Last week, Elaine G. Flores shared her Dru/Malcolm fantasy recast for
Y&R
and asked you to tell us which vacant roles you'd like to see recast
and who
you would pick for the job. Paul from L.A. wants Jerry Douglas (ex-
John,
Y&R) to play Mickey Horton. Jeanie also wants a Mickey recast, but
with Jed
Allan (ex-Edward, GH). With PASSIONS actors about to hit the
unemployment
line, Sherri picks Emily Harper (Fancy) to hop over to DAYS as
Jennifer
Horton. D.P. From Fort Wayne, IN has her own Dru recast in mind:
Renee
Goldsberry (Evangeline, OLTL).

Here's another question for you: Thinking of characters on your show
who
have never been romantically linked, pick a pair you'd like to see
get
involved.

Want silky tresses like PASSIONS's Lindsay Hartley (Theresa)? Then
check out
KMS Silksheen Therapy Plus, a leave-in serum. The actress says the
product
is especially good for hair exposed to heat. For more info, check out
www.kmscalifornia.com.

Type Set
Soap fans are a vocal bunch -- see what fellow viewers are saying
about
their shows.

As an avid fan of ATWT, I can't say enough about how much I love the
coupling of Henry [Trent Dawson] and Vienna [Ewa da Cruz]. The
chemistry
they share is undeniable. Vienna's heartbreak at the altar broke my
heart. I
look forward to much more with these characters and their passionate,
yet
heartbreaking romance. May I also add: Cleo may be a little weird,
but
Jennifer Landon [Gwen] is doing a tremendous job, much like Martha
Byrne
[Lily] did with Rose. Thanks AS THE WORLD TURNS.

Q. Who are Lucinda's children?
A. Lucinda has raised adoptive daughter Lily from birth. With Craig's
help,
Lucinda found her biological daughter, Sierra, in the war-torn
country of
Montega in 1985. (Sierra's father was Jacobo Esteban). Her other
(rarely
mentioned) adopted daughter, Bianca, a Montegan orphan, works for the
United
Nations in New York. In 1997, new backstory revealed that James and
Lucinda
had an affair resulting in a baby that died shortly after birth (or
so
Lucinda was told). She was briefly led to believe that the baby had
lived
and was actually David Allen (later Stenbeck, later known as Reid
Hamilton),
but tests proved that though James was David's father, Lucinda was
not his
biological mother.

Michelle Stafford's Y&R Blog
by Michelle Stafford

Hey! I'm Michelle Stafford and I play Phyllis Summers Newman on CBS'
The Young and the Restless. This is my first entry for my new
TVGuide.com blog. TV Guide soap-opera guru Daniel Coleridge invited me
to write this, so here it is....

My body is very tired because I've been crying for the last three days
on the show. Iï¿½ve been working with Christian [LeBlanc, Michael on The
Young and the Restless], and heï¿½s out of his mind. When Christian and
I rehearse, I like to walk around The Grove (great shopping center,
right next door to where we tape at CBS Television City) and run our
lines, and go to my favorite Brazilian restaurant at the Farmers
Market (adjacent to The Grove). Even if weï¿½re two hours away from
shooting, Christian is hesitant to leave the studio. Christian likes
to run, and run, and run the lines. I like to run the lines a few
times. Peter [Bergman, who plays Jack] likes to run the lines a few
times too. Josh [Morrow, who plays Nick] doesnï¿½t like to run the lines
at all.

Christian and I had lunch together yesterday. I had the chicken and
macaroni and cheese. I am a big fan of the macaroni and cheese at our
beautiful CBS commissary. I even go to the salad bar and put a couple
big scoops of bleu cheese on top of the macaroni and cheese. I make my
own three-cheese macaroni and cheese. Christian had a scoop of tuna on
lettuce. I think he has a bed scene coming up. I noticed that some of
the men get more nervous about ï¿½dropping trouï¿½ than the women do.
Sharon Case [who plays Sharon] isn't nervous at all about it. I myself
make the crew turn their backs to me if I have to take my clothes off.
And I make Josh close his eyes. Heï¿½s a married man, after all. And I
have to look his wife in the eye. One time in a scene, my bare back
had to show, and I said to him, ï¿½All right, Iï¿½m going to have my boob
right on you. Can you deal with it?ï¿½ He said, ï¿½I think I can.ï¿½ Then I
put a piece of paper in between our skin, because he's a father of two
young boys and I have to look them in the eye as well. Josh keeps on
telling me heï¿½s already seen them (my bare breasts), but I know he
hasn't because I am very careful about hiding them when we have those
scenes. When Josh and I do our love scenes, we are laughing and
goofing off right up to the moment of action. Iï¿½m shocked that
anything good ever comes of it.

When I do my love scenes with Sharon... Oh no ï¿½ forget that ï¿½ thatï¿½s a
future story line. Nevermind. Oh shoot, I shouldnï¿½t have let that slip.

What else? I was there last night until 9 oï¿½clock. The cleaning crew
was standing outside of my room waiting for me to leave. Iï¿½m very
happy that we have a shopping center right next door to our studio.
During my time off, if it's during the day, I usually go shopping at
the Gap. I am a big fan of the Gap. What happened to the $25 t-shirts?
Thatï¿½s what I want to know. If I have a lot of time in between scenes,
sometimes I'll see a movie at our fabulous movie theater inside The Grove.

We have a four-day weekend at work so we'll all get to relax and take
some time off. We are now shooting six shows in four days at work. We
are there longer hours, but we get more days off. I like this new
schedule.

Anyway, stay tuned to this blog. I will have more fun and frolicking
for you in the future. Those are a lot of F's right there.

Why As the World Turns Will Break My Heart on May 1

That adorable redhead Zach Roerig says goodbye to CBS' As the World
Turns on Tuesday, May 1. Roerig's contract expired and the 23-year-old
actor has opted to pursue other projects. So his character, Casey
Hughes, is being written off to jail. Sigh.

This really bums me out. If you're already missing Zach/Casey like I
am, please join me in my unhealthy obsessing over the superhot screen
caps and publicity photos on this fabulous fansite.

Top Model Judge to Guest Star on Y&R
OK, so I was just watching Dancing With the Stars hoofer Louis van
Amstel do his cameo on All My Children when news of another
reality-soap crossover hit my inbox....

Fashion shutterbug Nigel Barker ï¿½ who judges America's Next Top Model
ï¿½ will play himself on The Young and the Restless on Tuesday, May 29
and Wednesday, May 30.

Barker will host Y&R's fictional reality show Extreme Catwalk. He'll
dish with Jill and Gloria about Amber, who models her very own designs
on the runway. Catwalk sounds like catty fun to me!

Soap Star Grad Lands on Bold and the Beautiful
Good news! The hunky Dean Cochran ï¿½ my fave contestant ever from
SOAPnet's I Wanna Be a Soap Star ï¿½ has finally landed himself a
soap-opera gig.

Dean joins CBS' The Bold and the Beautiful this Friday, April 27. He
plays one of the policemen investigating the demise of homeless hottie
Shane McGrath (Dax Griffin).

"I am playing Detective Troy Scott," Dean wrote to me via my MySpace
page. "I'm basically Lt. Baker's (Dan Martin) protï¿½gï¿½ and we are
investigating this case, which involves many of the front-burner
characters. It's a recurring role for as long as this case goes on.
Who knows? Maybe Lt. Baker will need his right-hand man the next time
something comes up that requires brilliant investigative skills. We'll
have to see. But for now, it's been great to spend a couple of weeks
on set with a great cast and crew.

"For me, it's been especially fun since the B&B stage is next door to
The Price Is Right stage, where my wife Brandi Sherwood is a model. So
I know all the crew over there, and some of them work on B&B as well.

"I got the role in large part thanks to [my manager] Michael Bruno,
who showed my reel to [B&B casting director] Christy Dooley after Soap
Star," Dean continued. "Michael was a big supporter on that show and
was kind enough to want to help me out (like yourself). When this part
came up, he put in another call to Christy, who got on board! Thanks
to them, I got a shot to get my foot in the door. All the B&B cast
members are terrific people, as I'm sure you know. It's been a great
experience for me, coming from a feature film background, to try my
hand at soaps."

Good luck, Dean! Or is it break a leg? Whichever works best for you
pretty-boy actor types.

Two-time Daytime Emmy winner Michelle Stafford has yet another shot at
a shiny statuette this year. The Young and the Restless star's latest
nomination came as no surprise to us, since she puts such pizzazz into
her performances as Phyllis Summers Romalotti Abbott Newman, Genoa
City's homewrecker with a heart of gold. Here she shares her reaction
to the Emmy nod. And don't miss her very special news at the end of
the Q&A!

TVGuide.com: You're already fancy with all the awards you've won. Did
this nom even come as a surprise?
Michelle Stafford: It's always shocking and totally surprising! It's
really an honor. First of all, your peers at your show say you're good
enough to go up for the award. And then you go up for the nomination,
and you get it because people thought you were good enough to possibly
win. That's really cool, and that never gets old, believe me. You
think, "Oh God, I better get this. They put their faith in me."

TVGuide.com: What have you submitted for Emmy consideration?
Stafford: For the prenom, I chose an episode where Jack and Phyllis
are stuck in an elevator and she's about to give birth. It's not the
show where she gave birth, but the show before that one, where she
went into labor.

TVGuide.com: Any scene you're sharing with Peter Bergman (Jack) is
likely to be good stuff.
Stafford: Yeah, I like the dynamic between the two characters. Phyllis
and Jack have a shaky relationship. And people do give birth in sucky
situations. It does happen!

TVGuide.com: Phyllis recently blackmailed Brad. I've enjoyed watching
her go back to her wicked ways.
Stafford: To Phyllis, Brad is a cocky loser who doesn't deserve to be
in the position he's in. She thinks he's a buffoon. So she loves to
play with Brad! Don Diamont (Brad) always says [in character], "Oh, I
wouldn't listen to you, I've killed people." I look at him and go,
"Well, I have, too, buddy!"

TVGuide.com: That's right. Didn't Phyllis kill her ex-friend Sasha
years ago?
Stafford: That was during the days Sandra Nelson was playing Phyllis.
Sasha died in a fire and I think it was insinuated that Phyllis killed
her, but the audience didn't see it. I don't know. I wasn't playing
the role, so I can't take responsibility for it! I did run over Paul
in my car once when I was playing Phyllis.

TVGuide.com: Is it fun for you to play a bad girl again?
Stafford: You're probably the 50th person who has asked me this, so I
guess you guys care! You know, I don't care. As long as it's a fun,
well written story to play, I don't care how Phyllis is... good, bad
or indifferent. I like makin' out with Josh [Morrow, Nick]. I could
think of a lot worse things to do in life. It ain't too shabby.

TVGuide.com: I think Phyllis and Nick's early make-out scenes in the
Newman stables belong on your Emmy reel.
Stafford: (Sassy) Really, you think so? I don't think that the [Emmy
voters] are really interested in watching me make out. I don't know if
that's going to get me an Emmy.

TVGuide.com: OK, maybe I should start the "Danny Awards" and give you
and Joshua a trophy for best kiss?
Stafford: (Laughs) Right on! That's cool.

TVGuide.com: Have you talked to your fellow outstanding lead-actress
nominees?
Stafford: I called all the girls. Kim Zimmer (Reva, Guiding Light) is
really excited. She's awesome.

TVGuide.com: I love how Zimmer said she'd stop submitting herself if
she won an Emmy last year. Then she won and forgot all about that.
Stafford: Well, you know, Zimmer is a passionate woman. She speaks in
the moment and she doesn't hold anything back. That's what I love
about her. Anyone can change their mind. What the hell! It's only a game.

TVGuide.com: Do you and your Y&R cast mates sit down together and
discuss what you'll submit?
Stafford: Oh, yeah! The seven of us who've been nominated ï¿½ me, Peter
Bergman, Christian LeBlanc (Jack), Jeanne Cooper (Katherine), Kristoff
St. John (Neil), Greg Rikaart (Kevin) and Bryton (Devon) ï¿½ are a
pretty tight group. Me and Christian are the first up in the
production office scouring our tapes. I told Jeanne, "You better get
your ass up there and do it! I'll help you pick." It's tough to look
at your own work; you can become apathetic and only see what's wrong
with it. Sometimes you need another pair of eyes. We all help each
other out.

TVGuide.com: How does it feel to be nominated up against Jeanne in the
same category?
Stafford: Oh, my god, I couldn't be happier. I think she's so good and
she deserves to win. She actually has one of these tchotchkes already.
It's so much fun to be in there with her. There's absolutely zero
competition. (Laughs) We're broads. We've been around. These women are
my friends. I like them and I like their work. The Emmys are just a
fun game. It's an excuse to get dolled up.

TVGuide.com: I don't think all daytime actors feel that way, Michelle!
Some take the Daytime Emmys very seriously.
Stafford: This is art. These awards are based on opinion. I submit my
tapes and then let it go because it's out of my hands, right? I have a
different viewpoint of this than others might. Maybe it's because I've
won before. It could be that. But don't get me wrong ï¿½ I wanna win!
I'm not just sitting here going, "Oh, whatever."

Craig gets a mysterious call this week. Who from? We're told...

... Rosanna rings him up, but is it really her? Of course not, it's
Alison pretending to be Craig's ex, but what does she say to him? More
importantly, will Craig believe it's really her or is he on to Paul
and Lucinda's scheme?

Meanwhile, Brad tells Jack about his night with Katie. What exactly
does he tell his brother. Will he tell him the truth that nothing
happened, or does Brad lead Jack to believe otherwise? Looks like the
latter, as Katie tries to explain herself to Jack. How will she plead
her case? Moreover, will Jack listen to what she has to say?

Across town, Will runs into Cleo dressed as Gwen. How will this
meeting go down? Does Will buy Cleo's impersonation or will he see
through the ruse?

At the same time, Maddie tells Casey she's not accepting the out of
town college offer she received. Why doesn't she want to go away to
school? Looks like she wants to be close to Casey while he's in the
pokey, but how will he feel about it? Does he want her pining away for
him or does he want her to move away? Discover the direction the young

course. Read all about it in the new Digest.... And a GH preview

what's ahead in Port Charles, including Nikolas dying. Is it for
real?
"Well, I'm near the end of my contract," admits Tyler Christopher

Tales From The Interview
Reporting By Danielle McClure

There are a few of us in the office (okay, maybe it's just me and my
fellow
cubicle neighbor, Lauren Flynn) who love a good bargain, especially
when
it's one involving fashion. So when I recently sat down with GL's
Bonnie
Dennison (Daisy), I had to ask her where she picks up her cute style
and if
she's a fool for a great fashion find like we are. I secretly hoped
she'd
tell me she scored her smart outfit (an adorable blue top and jeans
with
boots) on the sale rack so we could swap sample sale scavenging
stories and
tales of bargain bin brawls. Much to my delight, she credited her
fashion
sense to picking up her grandmother's old jewelry and shopping at
flea
markets. "Eclectic sort of stuff. Just like American Apparel mixed
with
grandma's old jewelry," Dennison said of her style. She happily
obliged when
I asked her where she found her unique necklace. "It's my grandma's.
Every
cool piece of jewelry I have is from my grandparents. I guess they
just
don't make cool jewelry anymore!" she laughed. "It was a gift of a
friend of
hers. I think it's emerald. It's an Aztec something or other." And
about her
flea market and thrift store excursions, she admitted she's just not
willing
to pay an outrageous price for someone's old shirt. "I used to go
every
weekend. You have to be adamant about it and have a standard in what
you
spend. I mean, it's used clothing with boutique prices. I don't want
to pay
that much! It's really crazy." I couldn't agree more. For more of my
interview with Bonnie, check out the new Digest.

The Water Cooler
Ever wonder what Digest editors talk about in the halls? Here's
what's on
our minds this week.

Lauren Flynn: Did anyone see Chris Beetem's (Tate, ONE LIFE TO LIVE)
wickedly hilarious Tom Cruise spoof on April 23? To summarize, the
former
baseball pro-turned-underwear model ventured to THE VIEW to talk
about much
more than his skivvies. Yours truly got to sit in as an extra that
day, and
although I can't say I made it on-camera, it was definitely an
experience.
We were shooting on a snowy day in early March, so most of the
audience was
dressed for cold weather, while the first two rows of paid extras
sported
brightly colored spring clothing. (I'm going to blame my black
turtleneck
for the lack of face time.) The whole segment was filmed on THE VIEW
set
after taping of the regular show, and being behind-the-scenes was
great,
especially watching OLTL Executive Producer Frank Valentini in
action,
blocking moves with Beetem and keeping up the crowd's enthusiasm.
Both
Valentini and Beetem seemed to have a neverending supply of energy,
as
demonstrated by Beetem's expert jumping. He is one agile actor! Catch
an
action shot on page 99 in the latest Digest.

Tom Stacy: In the spirit of the big reveal that Sebastian Rochï¿½'s
chilling
GH incarnation of James Craig is really Jerry Jax, I am about to make
a
confession. I, too, have a secret identity. Really. Most of my co-
workers
and the fans I speak with know me as a mild-mannered reporter for a
great
soap magazine, but there is more to my origins than you know. In
fact, more
than I even knew until recently when my visiting parents dined with
my
fellow staffers here in Los Angeles. Leave it to my cohort in crime,
Devin
Owens, to get the scoop. As he and my mother bonded as thick as
thieves, she
revealed that I was actually named after a soap opera character! It's
true.
That was news to me! I knew Dolores was a lifelong fan of AS THE
WORLD
TURNS, but I had never known that Thomas Christopher Stacy was
actually
named after Thomas Christopher Hughes! "How could you not have told
me
that?" I demanded to know. "It never came up," she sweetly replied.
"I WORK
FOR SOAP OPERA DIGEST AND IT NEVER CAME UP?" I'm still dumbfounded by
the
news, but you can bet I'll be hunting down Scott Holmes at this
year's Emmys
so I can have my picture taken with my namesake. Since I've gone this
far
I'll also admit that I used to make fun of people named after TV
characters
-- but no more. I am one of you! So, to all the Sonnys, Carlys,
Friscos and
Felicias out there, I embrace you and I thank you for welcoming me
into our
exclusive club.

Survey Says

Last week, Digest asked readers which pair of characters who were
never
romantically linked they'd like to see together. The e-mails poured
in. K.
D. nominated GL's Cassie and Alan and came up with a whole plotline:
"The
storyline could have Alan truly fall in love for the first time in
his life,
and be so enraptured by Cassie that he truly becomes a better man.
All the
while Cassie will be diabolically plotting to steal his riches and
ruin his
life for what he did to her daughter Tammy. She will succeed, and
Alan will
not put up a fight because of his true love for her and he will end
up a
homeless bum. Whereupon -- of course -- Phillip will return to
Springfield
to rescue his father and take back the Spaulding empire, as the No. 1
son
would do, of course, causing the brotherly rivalry with Alan-Michael
to rear
its ugly head...." R.T. writes, "I would like to see Kevin and
Colleen on
Y&R hook up! I think that they will make a perfect match ... besides
Kevin
is very sexy and he need to hook up with someone!" Another Y&R fan
wants to
see Sharon and J.T. together (Imagine what Victoria would say about
that?)
Other possible pairings were OLTL's Antonio and Talia and Marty and
John;
GH's Noah and Alexis, C.B. writes: "Alexis deserves a sexy, NICE man,
and
the original Dr. McDreamy might just fill the bill;" AMC's Jonathan
and Ava
and Y&R's Sharon and Neil.

I was fortunate enough to be able to catch Rick Springfield's two-
night
concert stint at the Borgata Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, NJ in
February. Despite being under the weather with a bad cold (it seemed
like
his entire band had the sniffles!), Rick put on a spirited
performance both
nights! Pausing only to soothe his throat with sips of hot tea,
Springfield
poured his usual abundant energy into his show. Fans enjoyed a mix of
new
material with Rick's big hits from the '80s; he even ventured out
into the
audience a couple of times to interact with the appreciative crowd.
There
were a few people out in the audience who attended the show on a last-
minute
